Summary

A 46-year-old man's persistent cough, initially diagnosed as pneumonia, was ultimately resolved after doctors discovered and removed a small plastic toy traffic cone he had inhaled 40 years earlier.

Key Points

  • Paul Baxter, 46, developed a severe cough that was initially diagnosed as pneumonia, but his condition did not improve after several months of treatment. 
  • A referral to a respiratory clinic led to a chest x-ray, which revealed a suspicious shadow in the lower right section of his lung. 
  • Doctors performed a bronchoscope procedure, inserting a camera-equipped probe into his lung, where they observed a lump with an orange object protruding from it. 
  • The initial attempt to dislodge the object with a smaller probe was unsuccessful, prompting the doctor to schedule a follow-up procedure with a longer and more powerful probe. 
  • During the second procedure, doctors successfully dislodged and extracted the mysterious orange object from Paul's lung. 
  • The extracted object was revealed to be a small plastic orange traffic cone from a child's play toy set. 
  • Paul immediately recalled inhaling a similar cone when he was 7 years old, realizing it had been in his lung for over 40 years without causing symptoms until his recent cough. 
  • The doctors, astonished by the unusual discovery, reacted with laughter, and Paul's cough completely disappeared after the cone's removal.
