この論文は国立情報学研究所の学術雑誌公開支援事業により電子化されました。Two cases of broncholithiasis are reported. One of these is a 27-year-old female who had been suffering from hemoptysis for about ten years, in which two broncholiths were found at the time of operation. The other is a 22-year-old female who complained of persistent cough with pururent sputum, in which the diagnosis was made by expectration of a broncholith. Both pationts had received treatment as tuberculosis at another hospital. It is significant to differentiate broncholithiasis from bronchogenic carcinoma or other chronic, especially pururent pulmonary diseases
