Tracheobronchitis and laryngitis associated with Crohn's disease.
We report a 68-year-old woman with tracheobronchitis and laryngitis associated with Crohn's disease (CD), which was discovered during the evaluation of suspected lung cancer. She had no symptoms induced by these upper airway diseases (UADs). Bronchoscopy revealed swelling of the epiglottis with edematous change and a mass like epiglottis fold. There were nodular and edematous changes in the trachea and bilateral main bronchus. Histological findings demonstrated infiltration by numerous lymphocytes and plasma cells. Dexamethasone as the premedication for chemotherapy against lung cancer was efficacious for these extraintestinal manifestations of CD. Our case was rare in that bronchial lesion and UADs appeared concomitantly.
