A case is presented in which the patient had a small amount of residual localized contrast material (iodized oil and sulfanilamide [Visciodol]) from a bronchogram. Seven months later he developed a transient pneumonia around the contrast material, which then cleared. More than two years later, at the same site, a slow growing, well defined, granuloma which contained residual contrast medium appeared, and was ultimately resected. Poor drainage and local chemical irritation are thought to be the most likely causes of this series of unusual events.
