Case series reveals delayed diagnosis of foreign body aspiration in adults can mimic endobronchial masses, highlighting the risk of granulation tissue formation.
The findings of the present study demonstrate that subjects tended to forget the FBA, leading to insidious respiratory system symptoms, with recurrent infections. In cases with an endobronchial mass lesion image on thorax CT, clinicians should consider the possibility of FBA. Delayed diagnosis of both organic and inorganic FB may cause granulation tissue.
