Abstract
Three confirmed cases of acute iron tablet-induced necrosis due to a fulminant chemical burn injury to the tracheobronchial tree as a result of accidental inhalation and/or aspiration of iron tablets are described. Although histological confirmation has been relied upon for diagnosis, the distinctive bronchoscopic features may allow prompt recognition and treatment by bronchoscopists to prevent this potentially fatal condition.
