Abstract:
A young man presented with haemoptysis, eight years after foreign body aspiration. The initial evaluation took place in the emergency department of a general hospital. However, neither chest x-ray nor bronchoscopy were performed. Bronchoscopy performed in our hospital revealed a foreign body in right lower lobe bronchus. Extraction failed because it was embedded in granulation tissue. The chronic atelectasis of right lower lobe and recurrent bronchopulmonary infections during the last years were the indication for lobectomy.
