Abstract
|
|
|
|
Bronchial foreign bodies commonly occur through aspiration or inhalation. Here we present a very rare case of migration of a non-metallic foreign body into the bronchus 5 years after lobectomy. The foreign body, a Teflon pellet used to control parenchymal bleeding in the lung, was removed by a bronchofiberscope. Although the mechanism of migration remains unknown, our case and a previous Japanese case provide evidence that non-metallic foreign bodies can migrate from the lung parenchyma to the bronchus.
