The bronchial variant of Dieulafoy's disease was initially reported in 1995, and it has been considered to be a rare disease.[1] The causes of Dieulafoy's disease of the
bronchus remained uncertain.
Ethnic Indians had higher survivals for most of the fifteen cancers such as thyroid, corpus uteri, colorectal, pancreas, lung, trachea and
bronchus, leukaemia and lymphoma.
The epithelium of tertiary
bronchus was incomplete since it had openings for the atria and respiratory capillaries, and the epithelial cells were cone, oval or irregular in shape, the nuclei were round at the middle of the cells (Fig.
The aspirated prosthesis was found in the right mainstem
bronchus (Figure 3).
Mucus plug in central pulmonary
bronchus is a pathology that can occur in the elderly with restlessness associated with pulmonary or cardiologic pathology.
Caption: Figure 2: (a) CT scan of the chest showing a hypodense cystic lesion in the middle mediastinum (arrow), causing compression on the carina and the proximal aspect of the mainstem bronchi, more pronounced on the left main
bronchus. (b) 3D reconstruction of the CT scan showing a significant narrowing of the left main
bronchus (arrow), caused by external compression of the adjacent cystic lesion.

bronchus (red arrow) and distal postobstructive consolidation (yellow arrow).
Eleven patients presented a
bronchus sign at CT [11].
After the macroscopic analysis, fragments of the trachea, tracheal
bronchus, main and secondary bronchi, and lungs were removed from the parietal and mediastinal surfaces in their cranial, middle and caudal regions.
We observed a total of 8 (6.89%) cases each of foreign body in nose and
bronchus. In
bronchus, bits of almond and berry fruit were detected in 3 cases each and a small plastic whistle and a small plastic pen rear cap was detected in one case each all of which were removed by rigid bronchoscopy.
A nodular, homogeneous lesion within collapsed right upper lobe in right hilum was seen obliterating upper lobe
bronchus and encroaching on
bronchus intermedius [Figure 1].
