Abstract

Broncholithiasis is an unusual clinical condition characterized by the presence of calcified or ossified material within the airways. Multiple endobronchial broncholithiasis during active infection with tuberculosis is an extremely uncommon presentation. Bron-choscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of broncholithiasis. Currently, there are no specific Guideliness for the management of broncholithiasis. Here, we present a Case Report where multiple broncholiths were successfully removed in a staged manner via rigid bronchoscopy.
