ABSTRACT
A 32 year-old man was transferred to our hospital due to blood-tinged sputum for 15 days. He had been treated at a private hospital for recurrent pneumonia. The chest X-ray showed an atelectasis on the right middle lobe. Computed tomography of the chest demonstrated a broncholith on right middle lobar bronchus with lobar atelectasis of the right middle lobe. We tried to remove the broncholith through fiberoptic bronchoscopy, but could not remove it. Therefore, we performed surgical removal of broncholith and the right middle lobectomy. The cause of broncholith was identified as actinomycosis by pathologic examination. The broncholith caused by actinomycosis is rare. We report a rare case of broncholithiasis with recurrent obstructive pneumonia caused by actinomycosis, which was treated by surgical operation.
