Abstract
We report a rare case of tracheocele found incidentally on a chest computed tomographic scan of a 78-year-old woman undergoing left hemithyroidectomy. The tracheocele was removed, and our operative and thoracoscopic findings are reported herein. The causes and possible clinical implications of tracheocele are discussed.
