Bronchocele
The term bronchocele indicates focal bronchial dilatation and is often associated with mucoid impaction and impaired ventilation.
Pathology
Bronchoceles can be congenital (e.g. bronchial atresia) or acquired due to retained secretions or proximal obstruction (e.g. endobronchial tumor) 1.
