Abstract
A 55-year-old female who had been involved in a traffic accident visited our hospital because of bloodysputum and persistent cough. CT-scan and tomography showed an abnormal shadow in the right mainbronchus. Bronchofiberscopic examination revealed a foreign body (a piece of a broken denture) and multiple polyps. Biopsy of the polyps demonstrated inflammatory granulation tissue. The foreign body was removed by the bronchofiberscope. The symptoms improved and the size of the polyps decreased after the removal of the foreign body.
