There has been several reports that support cigarette smoking recently, even though the pathogenesis is not clear. We encountered a case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia induced by cigarette smoking, who, being a 20-year-old man, presented with acute onset of fever after his first cigarette smoking. His clinical symptoms and the infiltrations on onset x-ray improved after a treatment with corticosteroid.

Only a few cases of this lesion occuring in the bronchial system have been reported to date. The etiology of Dieulafoy's disease is still unclear, but chronic bronchial injury and/or congenital vascular malformation have been postulated. We encountered a case of bronchial Dieulafoy's disease that developed in a 69-year-old woman who had been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis for 4 months. Her chief complaint was hemoptysis and the bronchoscopic finding showed an intrabronchial protruding lesion produced by the arteries beneath the bronchial mucosa of the anterior segment of right upper lobe. She has been well after the surgical resection of right upper lobe.
