Abstract
Foreign body aspiration is an emergency situation that requires immediate care to prevent the development of complications, including death of the patient. The literature describes cases of late detection of foreign bodies in the respiratory tract, which were masked by symptoms of other diseases of the respiratory system and were in such situations an incidental finding. In approximately 20% of cases, foreign bodies are radiolucent and are not visualized by standard radiography. Untimely diagnosis can lead to the choice of incorrect tactics of patient treatment and development of purulent and destructive processes in the lungs. The article presents a patient with chronic bronchitis and a foreign body in the left lower lobe bronchus detected 2 years after aspiration, which was removed by cryodestruction.
