Pulmonary actinomycosis is a rare chronic pulmonary infection caused by actinomyces. Pulmonary involvement is uncommon and often leads to a misdiagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis or lung cancer. Endobronchial involvement is very rare, and broncholithiasis has occasionally been reported in association with pulmonary actinomycosis. Herein, we report a case of a 50-year-old male patient, who presented with a history of cough and hemoptysis diagnosed to be endobronchial actinomycosis with broncholithiasis by transbronchial biopsy.
肺放线菌病是一种由放线菌引起的罕见慢性肺部感染。肺部受累并不常见,常导致误诊为肺结核或肺癌。支气管内受累非常罕见,偶尔有支气管结石症与肺放线菌病相关的报道。在此,我们报告一例50岁男性患者,该患者有咳嗽和咯血病史,经支气管活检诊断为支气管内放线菌病合并支气管结石症。
