Abstract

Cough receptors are widely spread in tracheobronchial tree. This is why endobronchial pathologies often present with cough. Chronic cough due to endobronchial lesions can be evaluated mainly in two headings as benign and malign pathologies. In this review, lung cancer as malign pathology, polyp and foreign body aspiration as benign pathologies will be discussed.

Keywords: Cough, chronic, endobronchial lesion, lung cancer, polyp, foreign body aspiration
