A,B: Axial CT scan of the chest (mediastinal window), without contrast administration, at the level of the proximal segment of the trachea (A) and below the carina (B), showing significant concentric thickening of the wall and small calcifications in the trachea and bronchi (arrows). C: Coronal CT scan of the chest (lung window) showing homogeneous wall thickening affecting the segmental and subsegmental bronchi (arrowheads). Signs of volumetric loss in the middle lobe (asterisk) due to narrowing of the lumen of respective lobar bronchus (not shown). D: Bronchoscopic image showing narrowing of the bronchial lumen by concentric, diffuse infiltration by grayish-yellow mucous, resulting in enlargement of the secondary carina. LULB, left upper lobe bronchus; LLLB, left lower lobe bronchus.
