During past ten years, bronchoscopic examinations revealed tracheobronchial invasions caused by hilar lymph node tuberculosis in 8 cases: Perforation of floride stadium with expectration of a lot of tubercle bacilli was found in 1 young man and 2 young women with more or less abnormal hilar shadow on their chest x-ray films, intensive extrinsic stenosis of trachea in a 3-year-old girl suffering from primary infection of tuberculosis, residual scar in 3 male abults and pinhole-sized cicatricial stenosis of the right main bronchus in a young woman. From these observations, it could be stressed that even nowadays, tracheobronchial perforation caused by hilar lymph node tuberculosis should be carefully noticed under bronchoscopic examinations for the chest diseases suspected of tuberculosis.
