Abstract

Granulation tissue is a known complication of tracheostomy. Herniation of the tracheal posterior wall from the hole of silicone tube can mimic mass or granulation tissue. We report the successful management of a patient with a large mass like tissue in the posterior wall of the trachea with bronchoscopy. In the second look the mass like tissue was disappeared.
