Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente de 65 años de edad, con cuadro de tos no productiva de un año de evolución e imagen radiológica de densidad calcica paratraqueal inferior-derecha. El diagnóstico de broncolitiasis se realizó mediante la fibrobroncoscopia y tras el análisis de la muestra recogida por biopsia bronquial se aisló Mycobacterium avium. Se comentan las características del caso, en relación a la asociación de una broncolitiasis con una micobacteria no tuberculosa y se hace una revisión de la bibliografía.

Palabras clave:
Broncolitiasis
Mycobacterium avium
Fibrobroncoscopia

The case of a 65-years-old woman with non-productive cough persisting for one year is described. The X-ray showed lower right paratracheal calcification. The diagnosis of broncholithiasis was made by fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and Mycobacterium avium was isolated after analysis of the specimen collected by bronchial biopsy. We discuss the characteristics of the case, emphasizing the association of broncholithiasis and non-tubercular mycobacterial infection. The literature is reviewed.

Key words:
