Broncholithiasis is a rare and most often ignored condition characterized by the presence of calcified or ossified materials in the bronchus. The patient can be asymptomatic or commonly present with coughing. It is important to correctly identify this disease because in many cases it can cause hemoptysis and rarely lithoptysis.
