[Consecutive aspiration].
We report on a 40 year-old man who presented with recurrent pneumonia with limited effect of antibiotics. A chest CT-scan revealed a tumor in the right hilar region leading to a partial atelectasis of the middle lobe. We removed a rather uncommon foreign body from the right main stem bronchus.
