A 47 year old female who had past history of incomplete treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis presented with increased breathlessness, generalized swelling and loss of ap-petite for last one month. X-ray chest PA view showed bilateral fibrocalcific opacities with blunting of costophrenic angle on both sides. She underwent bronchoscopy to collect bronchial wash to rule out relapse of tuberculosis. On bronchoscopy a loose broncholith with sharp and speculated margins were detected in right middle lobe bronchus. This broncholith was successfully removed through flexible bronchoscope without any complications.
一名47岁女性,既往有肺结核治疗不彻底病史,近1个月出现呼吸急促加重、全身肿胀及食欲减退。胸部X线正位片显示双侧纤维钙化灶,双侧肋膈角变钝。她接受了支气管镜检查以收集支气管灌洗样本,以排除肺结核复发。在支气管镜检查中,于右中叶支气管发现一枚边缘锐利且呈分叶状的松动支气管结石。该支气管结石通过可弯曲支气管镜成功取出,未出现任何并发症。
