AbstractWe describe a case with chronic bronchial foreign body presenting with recurrent hemoptysis mimicking a peripheral lung tumor, and the outcome of surgical resection. A 61-year-old female with recurrent hemoptysis had a peripheral nodule in the right lower lobe. A right bronchial arteriogram showed dilatation and hypervascularity in the nodule. Surgical removal of the nodule contained a small branch of a white cedar. Chronic bronchial foreign body, while rare in adults, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripheral lung tumors associated with recurrent hemoptysis.
