Tracheobronchomegaly is a rare condition of uncertain etiology characterized by marked dilatation of the trachea and main bronchi, bronchiectasis and recurrent respiratory tract infections. Clinical presentation is nonspecific and the diagnosis is usually made by imaging methods. We report a case of a patient with tracheobronchomegaly. Diagnosis was confirmed by plain x-ray films and computed tomography of the chest.

Fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus is a rare, pedunculated, intraluminal, benign tumor. We describe a case of a patient with a fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus and discuss the esophagogram and computed tomography findings. Due to the excellent correlation between pathology and imaging findings, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are considered specific and useful in its diagnosis.
