Abstract
- Intrapulmonary aberrant needle is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Even if the patient is asymptomatic, the aberrant needle should be removed because it can migrate into the major organs and cause lung abscess or empyema. We report here on 2 cases of successfully removed intrapulmonary aberrant needle, along with a review of the literature.
