[A case of a right bronchial foreign body (rice cake)].
We had a case of a bronchial foreign body (rice cake). A 73-year-old male with severe dyspnea was taken by emergency car. His right breathing sound was very weak, but chest X-ray showed no changes. We diagnosed it as right bronchial foreign body and we could endoscopically remove the foreign body with basket-forcep successfully. We could save his life.
