Aspirated Soybean Mimicking Endobronchial Tumour Removed With a Cryoprobe. [PDF]
We present a case of an airway foreign body removed by cryoprobe that was initially considered to be endotracheal lipoma or endobronchial hamartoma based on imaging findings. ABSTRACT Adult airway foreign bodies are misdiagnosed as endobronchial tumours on imaging. A 77‐year‐old man with asbestosis presented with a worsening cough. Computed tomography (
