TRACHEAL BRONCHUS
Abstract
Two cases of ectopus tracheal bronchus are described. The study and the diagnosis were made by bronchoscopy and bronchography. The first case was an ectopus tight upper lobar bronchus in a man and the second one was an apical (ectopus) segmental bronchus of the right upper lobar bronchus in 8 woman. There is a serious suspicion that the bronchopulmonary segment of the tracheal bronchus in the second case was a site of primary or postprimary tuberculous infection.References
