ABSTRACT
A 48-years-old woman was visited to our hospital because of incidental finding of intrapulmonary foreign body. Chest X-ray showed a 4cm sized foreign body in left upper lung field without adjacent fibrosis. Chest CT showed a sewing needle shaped foreign body of metallic density, located in the left upper lobe. The foreign bodies including the needle were removed surgically using a wedge resection. The extracted needle was divided into three 4 cm pieces. Patient was discharged without other respiratory symptoms after surgery. We report a case of wedge resection in a patient with intrapulmonary needle in the left upper lobe, with review of literatures.
