[Foreign body granuloma mimicking bronchial tumor. Aspects in x-ray computed tomography with views by virtual endoscopy].
The aim of this study is to report the spiral CT findings of an endobronchial foreign body (chicken's bone) unknown on the postero-anterior chest radiograph and on the first bronchoscopy. The double originality of this case is the association with endobronchial actinomycosis mimicking a bronchial neoplasm and the utilization of virtual endoscopy by endoluminal 3D reconstruction in this context which has never been reported. The endoluminal 3D reconstruction of the bronchial tree could help guide the endoscopic procedure by better localization of the lesions.
