    AbstractAs a polypoid form of capillary hemangioma, lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) most commonly occurs on the cutaneous and mucosal surfaces and is frequently benign in children. Tracheal LCH is a rare benign tumor in adults, with hemoptysis being one of the most serious forms of presentation. A definite diagnosis of LCH depends on its histopathology. In clinical practice, however, radiological characteristics are an important component for making a suggestive diagnosis. We present a case of tracheal LCH and describe its features on computed tomography, pathology, and differential diagnosis. A review of the relevant literature is also provided.
