Abstract

Chronic cough is a common complaint in the pediatric population and can have many different etiologies. We present a rare case of a tracheal lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), also known as pyogenic granuloma, causing chronic cough in a child. In this case, the tracheal LCH was managed successfully with laser ablation. A review of the literature reveals only 2 other reported pediatric cases of tracheal LCH.
