만성경과의 폐렴을 동반한 기관지결석증 1례

Abstract

Broncholithiasis has been recognized in medicall literature for centuries. Because of the relative infrequency, broncholithiasis has often been neglecteed in the differential deagnosis of bronchial obstruction. In this case, we could remove the broncholith obstructing the right middle lobar bronchus with the fiberoptic bronchoscope in a 37-year old man without any complications and the complete resolution of the pneumonia was followed.
