Abstract
|
|
|
A case with a bronchial foreign body(wood) which had an uncommon way of entry through a wound in the chest wall was described. A 41-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of chronic cough and profuse purulent sputum. He had been
injured
by a
fragment of wood which penetrated his anterolateral chest wall at 30 years ago. A chest x-ray film reavealed a calcific foreign body, measuring 3.0 by 1.0cm, in the posterobasal segment of the left lung. Computed tomography of the chest
demonstrated a
calcific foreign body with bronchiectatic change near the diaphragmatic in the left lower lobe. Left lower lobectomy was performed, and the patient remains well without any thoracic symptoms after the operation.
