Abstract
Transbronchial lung biopsy performed on a 51-year-old woman for the evaluation of nodular densities with cavities in the bilateral apical areas was complicated by the breakage of the biopsy forceps. The broken fragment of the forceps was successfully retrieved by use of the magnetic extractor through a fiberoptic bronchoscope under fluoroscopic guidance.
