A rare case of sudden severe respiratory distress was caused by a granulomatous mass from endobronchial tuberculosis. This foreign body was successfully removed using a fiberoptic rigid bronchoscope.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Foreign body aspiration is a common cause of respiratory distress.
  • Endobronchial tuberculosis can present with diverse clinical manifestations.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with sudden, severe respiratory distress.
  • Clinical and imaging findings initially suggested foreign body aspiration.

Findings:

  • Bronchoscopic removal of the foreign body was performed.
  • Histopathologic and microbiologic analysis identified the foreign body as a granulomatous mass from endobronchial tuberculosis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights an unusual presentation of endobronchial tuberculosis.
