Abstract
Tracheal bronchus is a congenital anomaly usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally during bronchoscopy. Tracheal bronchus arises from the lower end of trachea before its bifurcation and is usually seen on the right side. Tracheal bronchus is a rare anomaly and symptomatic tracheal bronchus is extremely rare. Here we report two cases of tracheal bronchus reported with clinical features of right upper lobe pneumonia.
