Tracheopathia osteoplastica, also called tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TBOP), is a rare and benign disease of unknown etiology and pathophysiology. Characterized by the formation of multiple cartilage or bone nodules in the submucosal layer of the trachea or large bronchi. We report an observation of a 41-year-old patient who consulted for the recurrence of low abundance hemoptysis evolving for 4 years. The clinical examination noted wheezing and sibilant rattles diffused during auscultation. The diagnosis of tracheopathiaosteoplastica was raised in view of the radiological imaging data and the characteristic endoscopic aspect. Treatment is most often symptomatic.
