A 26-Year Secret: An Unusual Culprit Behind Massive Hemoptysis: A Case Report.
Foreign body aspiration is frequently encountered in children but can also occur in adults, where it often remains undiagnosed for years. Forgotten foreign bodies within the bronchial tree may later manifest with either vague symptoms or life-threatening complications, such as massive hemoptysis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the thorax is the preferred initial diagnostic modality and can suggest the presence of a foreign body. We present a case involving an adult who remained undiagnosed until adulthood, when he was ultimately found to have a foreign body embedded in the lung parenchyma.
