Bronchial foreign bodies: an uncommon way of entry.
The author describes two cases of bronchial foreign bodies that were not inhaled. One of them was found in the right lower bronchus after having penetrated through a wound in the chest wall. The other was lodged in the right main bronchus after penetration through a wound in the soft tissue of the neck. Both foreign bodies were successfully removed with the bronchoscope.
