[Benign and semi-malignant lung tumors--Review of a ten-year period].

Benign tumors of the lung are infrequent diseases. Their symptoms depend on their localisation in the periphery of the lung or in the central airways. Cough, hemoptysis, and dyspnoea are the most frequent symptoms, they should cause further diagnostic investigations (X-ray in two directions, bronchoscopy). This paper shows the frequency, symptoms, diagnostic procedure and findings, and the treatment of benign lung tumors, giving a survey of the patients of a pneumologic clinic during ten years.

[Stridor due to bolus obstruction of the esophagus].

Obstruction of the oesophagus by a piece of goulash meat resulted in tracheal stenosis in an 18-year-old girl. Because of the history of the illness and information supplied by others, as well as the marked stridor, it was first thought that the tracheal stenosis was at the level of a previous tracheostomy with aspiration, but bronchoscopy revealed marked bulging of the posterior wall of the trachea. Subsequent oesophagoscopy then detected the foreign body, which was removed whole.
