Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The incidence of foreign body aspiration decreases significantly with increasing age, resulting in atypical presentations in adults. A high index of suspicion is required in adults presenting with respiratory symptoms. We present a rare case of a foreign body (pill) aspiration in an elderly female mimicking an obstructing endobronchial lesion.
气管支气管异物吸入是发病和死亡的主要原因。异物吸入的发生率随着年龄的增长而显著降低，导致成人出现非典型表现。出现呼吸道症状的成人需要高度怀疑。我们报告一例罕见的老年女性异物（药丸）吸入病例，该病例酷似阻塞性支气管内病变。
