Foreign body (FB) aspiration occurs less frequently in adults than in children. Among the complications related to FB aspiration, pneumothorax is rarely reported in adults. Although the majority of FB aspiration cases can be diagnosed easily and accurately by using radiographs and bronchoscopy, some patients are misdiagnosed with endobronchial tumors. We describe a case of airway FB that mimicked an endobronchial tumor presenting with pneumothorax in an adult. A 77-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to pneumothorax and atelectasis of the right upper lobe caused by an endobronchial nodule. A chest tube was immediately inserted to decompress the pneumothorax. Chest computed tomography with contrast revealed an endobronchial nodule that was seen as contrast-enhanced. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed to biopsy the nodule. The bronchoscopy showed a yellow spherical nodule in the right upper lobar bronchus. Rat tooth forceps were used, because the lesion was too slippery to grasp with ellipsoid cup biopsy forceps. The whole nodule was extracted and was confirmed to be a FB, which was determined to be a green pea vegetable. After the procedure, the chest tube was removed, and the patient was discharged without any complications. This case highlights the importance of suspecting a FB as a cause of pneumothorax and presents the possibility of misdiagnosing an aspirated FB as an endobronchial tumor and selecting the appropriate instrument for removing an endobronchial FB.

<p>Foreign body sensation is a common complaint in the otorhinolaryngology emergency. Careful examination of the patient’s pharynx is mandatory, but sometimes the object is not visualized. In such scenario, it may be important to explore signs and symptoms indicating lower aerodigestive impaction. This work describes the case of a 73-year-old woman without relevant comorbidities attending to emergency care. She complained of a foreign body sensation on the right side of the throat after ingesting a meal, which motivated referral to otorhinolaryngology. Flexible transnasal nasopharyngoscopy was unremarkable and no foreign bodies were found. Auscultation was performed revealing low-pitch expiratory wheezing on her right hemithorax. The suspicion of bronchial foreign body was then raised, which was ultimately confirmed by imaging and bronchoscopy, showing an impacted pea on the right lower lobe bronchus. The stethoscope was hence determinant for detecting aspiration, by revealing consistent alterations. Its usage should be encouraged in similar scenarios, highlighting the role of this classic but sometimes forgotten tool. Importantly, higher neck/throat sensations should not exclude the possibility of a lower airway foreign body.</p>

Jackson and Jackson,1 in their landmark text, describe over 3000 foreign bodies of the air and food passages removed during their careers. Of these, 565 were vegetative and from the tracheobronchial tree. In their detailed list of foreign body types, sunflower seeds are not mentioned. A review of airway foreign bodies removed from children in the last 4 years at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, the Jacksons' main operative hospital for children, showed a remarkable change.
