Abstract
A 52-year-old male patient was hospitalized in our department with the diagnosis of recurrent pneumonia in the left lower lobe. The patient reported possible aspiration of plastic material about 10 years ago, although repeated bronchoscopies in an external hospital had not revealed any foreign body. A multiply folded 8-cm filing strip for a ring folder was detected and successfully removed together with granulation tissue by means of rigid bronchoscopy.
