Abstract

Idiopathic tracheal stenosis, a rare benign chronic inflammatory and fibrotic entity, has previously been reported in the literature in adults, but never in children. Here we report two pediatric cases, one with the rarer condition of idiopathic bronchial stenosis, and we discuss the management and histopathologic findings.
