A 53-year-old male presented with a persistent cough and fever, initially suspected as lung cancer. A foreign body, a molar tooth, was discovered in his right bronchus, successfully removed via bronchoscopy, resolving the symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Persistent cough and fever can mimic serious conditions like lung cancer.
  • Misdiagnosis can lead to prolonged, ineffective treatments.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old male presented with a 4-month history of cough and fever, initially treated as chronic bronchitis and pneumonia.
  • Chest X-ray and tomography suggested lung cancer, but bronchoscopy revealed a molar tooth in the right main bronchus.

Findings:

  • Bronchoscopy successfully identified and removed the foreign body (molar tooth).
  • Post-removal, the patient's condition improved with antibiotic therapy, and radiological imaging normalized.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering foreign body aspiration in persistent respiratory symptoms, even in adults.
