Stenosis of the right intermediate bronchus was found in a 60-year-old woman four months after aspiration of an iron tablet. Right middle and lower lobe lobectomies were performed. By light microscopy, small amounts of foreign, iron-positive material surrounded by giant cells, large collections of hemosiderin containing macrophages, and severe fibrosis with only minimal inflammation were observed in the bronchial wall. Early diagnosis and management are stressed in order to avoid the stenosing process which is also possible after aspiration of some tablets.
一名60岁女性在误吸一片铁片四个月后被发现右中间支气管狭窄。遂进行了右肺中叶和下叶切除术。光镜下可见，支气管壁有少量被巨细胞包围的含铁阳性异物、大量含铁血黄素的巨噬细胞聚集，以及严重纤维化且仅有轻微炎症。强调早期诊断和处理，以避免狭窄过程，误吸某些片剂后也可能出现这种情况。
