Cutaneous angiofibroma is part of the classic triad of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Angiofibroma is rarely reported to affect the mucous membranes of the trachea and bronchus. Tracheobronchial angiofibroma is also a hamartomatous manifestation of TSC. Considering the paucity of literature describing tracheal lesions in TSC, more case reports are needed to guide treatment planning. This case report adds to the existing clinical literature and provides a reference for clinical diagnosis.
