Broncholithiasis

DAN W. MYERS M.D., F.A.C.C.P.1

1 St. Louis, Missouri

Intrapulmonary and intraglandular calcifications may produce disturbance in the occasional instances in which they migrate into a bronchial lumen. The symptoms observed result either from ulceration of the bronchial wall or from the obstruction of the bronchus with attendant atelectasis or pulmonary suppuration. Cases are reported in which hemoptysis, asthma-like symptoms, bronchial stenosis and suppuration were directly associated with bronchial stones.
