Abstract Rationale: There are many difficult cases in the clinic because of the diversity of foreign bodies. The removal of a syringe cap is not so easy because there is always no hole at the closed end. Patient concerns: A 54-year-old man suddenly developed dyspnea during his treatment in the hospital. Diagnoses: Foreign body in the left main bronchus. Interventions: The foreign body was removed using fiberoptic bronchoscope together with gastroscope biopsy forceps. Outcomes: A repeat CT showed well inflation of left lung. Lessons: The combined use of gastroscope biopsy forceps in trachea is more conducive to remove a foreign body similar to a syringe cap.
