In their literature reviews, Venegas et al. and Oide et al. reported that tracheal and bronchopulmonary GTs predominantly affect male patients (65% and 72%, respectively); with 80% and 64% of cases occurring in individuals aged 40 and older [1, 2]. Consistent with these findings, our case series demonstrated that endobronchial GTs predominantly occur in male adults 30 to 70 years old. Additionally, all cases in our series involved otherwise healthy adults without underlying lung disease.

A 64-year-old man with a 2-month history of breathlessness, reduced effort tolerance, and a worsening cough, attended our clinic. The patient was a non-smoker, and he had no relevant history of occupational exposures or severe viral infections; he reported that none of his family had lung disease. No consanguinity was noted. Plain chest x-ray showed diffuse sandstorm-like micro-nodular pattern throughout both lung fields obscuring the cardiac border.
