[Lung cancer with bronchial stenosis due to foreign body and Entoameba gingivalis infection]. / Carcinoma con stenosi bronchiale da corpo estraneo e infezione da Entoameba gingivalis. Case report.

ABSTRACT

Oral cavity infection by protozoarian agents may lead to pathologies such as stomatitis and gengivitis. An higher incidence has been reported in immunocompromised patients and in patients with dental disorders. Entoameba gingivalis localizes into oral cavity and in particular into interstitial and interdental spaces. Infection propagation to bronchial or lung parenchyma represents a complication. In this report the Authors, starting from a recently treated case, discuss on the incidence, complications and surgical management of lung infection by Entoameba gingivalis.
