“…Such a long duration is totally exceptional. However, the longest period of time reported so far was 45 years . As in our patient, late complications result from the local inflammatory reaction, but also from the bronchial obstruction caused from both the foreign body obstruction and the development of granulomas.…”

“…As in our patient, late complications result from the local inflammatory reaction, but also from the bronchial obstruction caused from both the foreign body obstruction and the development of granulomas. The most frequent late complication is bronchiectasis and bronchomalacia reported in 25% of the children . Pulmonary infections (recurrent pneumonia or pulmonary abscess) are frequent as well as hemoptysis.…”

“…Gustave Killian in 1897 first reported the utilization of bronchoscope to extract inhaled foreign body . RB under general anesthesia remains the gold standard for every foreign body . Yet, 86% of success rate is described with flexible bronchoscopy, mainly for foreign bodies of the peripheral airways.…”

Inhaled foreign body, which remains unknown from the childhood until the mid-age is extremely rare. We report the case of a 58-year-old man who was addressed to our department to remove a pen cap, inhaled forty-one years earlier. It was discovered during a routine pre-op check-up for bronchiectasis, caused by the long period of retention into the bronchial tree. The successful removal of the cap changed completely the therapeutic strategy, as there was no indication for surgical resection any more.

“…Regarding diagnostic accuracy, a CT scan is much better for identifying potential airway objects than a chest radiograph, which may not detect radiolucent airway objects. 8 Although a CT scan was conducted for the diagnosis in this case, ultrasonography may have the potential for quick diagnosis. 9 Emergency bronchoscopy should be performed to prevent fatal conditions immediately after the diagnosis.…”

Acute airway obstruction long after tracheostomy has rarely been reported. An 81-year-old Japanese woman with a tracheostomy tube for 12 years developed a 2-day history of coughing-up sputum with difficulty, foreign body sensation, and mild dyspnea. Dyspnea worsened immediately after computed tomography, showing soft tissue opacity between the tip of the tracheostomy tube and the bronchi. A movable mass in the trachea, identified as mucus by pathological examination, was removed using bronchoscopy. Acute airway obstruction by a mucus plug potentially occurred with a long history of insertion of a tracheostomy tube. Emergency imaging studies and bronchoscopy were useful for management.

“…Several case series report low rate of foreign body in the airway in adults (0.66 per 100 000). 4 In adults, it is more seen in the setting of underlying neurological disorder and alcohol and sedative use. Our patient did not have any such predisposing factors, and she did not present acutely.…”

Foreign body aspiration is a life-threatening medical condition that requires prompt action. Delayed diagnosis is associated with long-term serious complication often leading to death. In adults, it can remain undetected for a long period of time. The patient gives a long history of a cough, which clinicians often ignore. A chest radiograph is unreliable to exclude the disease as it may not show radiolucent objects. Diagnostic bronchoscopy is necessary to exclude the disease. We report a case of 70-year-old woman who had a 1-month history of a cough and was admitted for shortness of breath, and on further evaluation, we incidentally detected calcium tablets in her bronchus. The present case demonstrates the need for early bronchoscopy especially when the cause of a chronic cough is not known.
