A segmental collapse due to mucous plug in the bronchus tree may mimic malignant pathological conditions. We present a case of 58-year-old asthmatic patient with an obstruction of right medial basal bronchus due to mucous plug, which was simulating mediastinal mass. To the best knowledge, a similar case is not reported in the English medical literature.
支气管树内黏液栓导致的节段性肺不张可能酷似恶性病理状况。我们报告一例58岁的哮喘患者,其右内侧基底支气管因黏液栓阻塞,形似纵隔肿块。据我们所知,英文医学文献中未报道过类似病例。
