ABSTRACT
Tracheal hemangioma is a very rare benign vascular tumor. Few cases of tracheal hemangioma in children are reported in the literature. Chronic cough is the main symptom of the disease; however, hemoptysis is rarely reported as a symptom of tracheal hemangioma in children. Here, we report a case of tracheal hemangioma in an eight-year-old girl admitted to our pediatric department for recurrent hemoptysis. Routine biological and radiological investigations were normal. Diagnosis was made using computed tomography and bronchoscopy. Beta-blocker therapy was not efficient. Bronchoscopic treatment by electrical excision enables complete recovery. Tracheal hemangioma should be considered a cause of recurrent hemoptysis when routine biological and radiological investigations are negative.
