A rare cause of chronic cough and hemoptysis: Broncholithiasis
Abstract
The term "broncholithiasis" is defined as the presence of calcified material in the tracheobronchial tree. Broncholithiasis is usually asymptomatic when it does not cause any erosion in the airways. However, the most common symptoms of broncholithiasis include cough, hemoptysis, and wheezing due to irritation of the airways and surrounding tissues. Herein, we present a patient with chronic cough and hemoptysis due to broncholithiasis.
