[Delayed diagnosis of bronchial foreign body].
An open safety pin was found in the middle lobe bronchus in a 3-year old girl with pneumonia. The point was directed downwards, and the pin could be removed during bronchoscopy. The lock was found to be partly corroded following months in the bronchial tree. The safety pin had thus most probably been closed when aspirated, and had thereafter remained silent until its spontaneous opening.
