CTICasesAspirated Foreign Bodies: Peanut and Bean
Imaging findings
Patients presented with lobar opacification and airway obstruction. One patient had a peanut (low density) causing right middle lobe obstruction, while another had a high-density bean obstructing the left upper lobe.
Key takeaways
Foreign body aspiration can mimic malignancy or chronic infection. While organic matter like peanuts are often low density, other items like beans may appear high density on CT.
