AB  - A male farmer referred for fever, cough and haemoptysis, presented, at bronchoscopic examination, a large mass occluding the middle lobe bronchus. No lung involvement was visible on chest X-ray. Histological examination showed an actinomycotic granule in the bronchial submucosa. The histological findings indicate that aspiration of contaminated material from the upper alimentary tract may have caused the disease.
