ABSTRACT
The occurrence of foreign body is uncommon in youths and adults. We report here a case of 16-year-old boy who inhaled a foreign body which was overlooked for 6 months. The patient suffered productive cough and received antibiotic treatment for 10 days. But the symptoms did not improve. Chest radiography and CT scan revealed a 1-cm-long needle-like foreign object in the right inferior lobar bronchus. Wedge resection of lung was finally performed because of severe hemorrhage caused by prior bronchoscopy.
