What Moved into the Lung? An Unusual Case of Foreign Body Migration

Abstract

OREIGN body migration into the lung is a rare complication that can cause various symptoms. In adults, however, foreign body deposited in the lung can be tolerated and remain undetected for a long time. Delayed diagnosis and subsequent delayed treatment is usually associated with atypical complications. In this article, we describe a case of foreign body migration into the tracheobronchial tree. After a long time delay diagnosis, the foreign body was ultimately removed by operation.
