Abstract

A man in his 50s developed persistent ventilator dependence, recurrent pneumonia, and lung abscess after right single-lung transplantation, and later died following complications from native lung pneumonectomy. Autopsy confirmed the diagnosis of tracheomalacia, allowing detailed histological examination that revealed extensive cartilage degeneration, disruption, and fibrosis of the trachea. Because histopathological studies of adult tracheomalacia are extremely rare, this case provides valuable insight into its pathology.

期刊介绍： Pathology International is the official English journal of the Japanese Society of Pathology, publishing articles of excellence in human and experimental pathology. The Journal focuses on the morphological study of the disease process and/or mechanisms. For human pathology, morphological investigation receives priority but manuscripts describing the result of any ancillary methods (cellular, chemical, immunological and molecular biological) that complement the morphology are accepted. Manuscript on experimental pathology that approach pathologenesis or mechanisms of disease processes are expected to report on the data obtained from models using cellular, biochemical, molecular biological, animal, immunological or other methods in conjunction with morphology. Manuscripts that report data on laboratory medicine (clinical pathology) without significant morphological contribution are not accepted.
