  • Radiology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Broncholithiasis involves calcified material within the bronchial lumen.
  • It can mimic other pulmonary pathologies due to varied presentations.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic aspects of broncholithiasis.
  • To analyze diagnostic challenges and treatment outcomes in broncholithiasis cases.

Summary:

  • A case series of six patients (4 males, 2 females; average age 50) with broncholithiasis over 14 years.
  • Presenting symptom was hemoptysis in 4 patients; 2 had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via bronchoscopy, CT scans, or surgical biopsy; 3 patients underwent surgery with satisfactory outcomes.
