Occult Foreign Body; Mimicking Lung Cancer
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
We describe a case of chronical bronchial foreign body presenting with cough, dyspnea and recurrent hemoptysis mimicking asthma, chronic bronchitis and lung cancer and undergoing surgical resection for diagnosis. Occult tracheobronchial foreign body aspirations are infrequently seen in adults. It may be undetected for months to years as in our case. Sometimes it can mimic a lung cancer with an endobronchial lesion placed in the bronchus.
