Foreign bodies in the lung can be difficult to diagnose. They may result in unusual symptoms leading to confusion about the diagnosis. Spirometry can sometimes provide a clue to a mainstem obstruction, although it may be compromised by artifacts. Herein, we present a case of an unusual foreign body within the tracheobronchial tree, for which spirometry provided the indication for bronchoscopy.

Akciğerdeki yabancı cisimlerin tanısı zor olabilmek-tedir. Bunlar tanıda karışıklığa yol açıp beklenmedik semptomlara da neden olabilirler. Solunum fonksi-yon testi (SFT), bazı artefaktlardan dolayı yanıltıcı olsa da, bir ana bronştaki obstrüksiyonun ipucunu bazen bizlere verebilmektedir. SFT sonrası bronkoskopi endikasyonu koyduğumuz ve trakeobronşial ağaçta beklenmedik bir yabancı cisim saptadığımız olguyu sunuyoruz.
