[Unusual bronchial tumor...].
We report a case of atelectasis of the upper right lobe which did not respond to antibiotics. A third bronchial endoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage was required to make the diagnosis of endobronchial nocardiasis. Search for extension revealed a brain localization. Search for immune deficiency only revealed calcification of the bronchial mucosa in the area of the nocardiasis.
