Abstract
Tracheal bronchus is a aberrant, accessory or ectopic bronchus arising almost invariably from the right lateral wall of the trachea and nay be related to inflammatory conditions affecting the lung, including recurrent pneumonia and bronchiectasis. Recently we experienced a case of tracheal bronchus associated with pulmonary actinomycosis. The 37-year-old male patient had suffered recurrent hemoptysis and had been medicated as a presumptive diagnosis of tuberculosis, but neither clinical nor radiologic improvement was not seen. Right upper lobectomy was performed and pulmonary actinomycosis was confirmed by the histologic examination. Postoperatively, the patient was medicated with penicillin and ampicillin for 3 months and completely recovered without any evidence of recurrence during the 6-month followup period.
