case_images: Computed tomography of the chest showed randomly distributed tiny nodules (1-2 mm in size) in both lungs [Figure 1], with mild hepatomegaly and a few subcentimetric lymph nodes at the porta and retroperitoneum.
case_images: Gross appearance of the flexible FB (left) and CB tissue (right). The difference in the sizes can be easily appreciated

case_images: The CB was 0.5 cm in length, while the largest conventional FB specimen was 0.1 cm [Figure 2].
case_images: (a and b) Photomicrographs showing comparison of sizes of the flexible FB and CB under scanner view [hematoxylin and eosin (H and E), x40], (c) FB showing single focus of loose collection of epithelioid cells forming granuloma (H and E, x200), (d) CB showing well-formed epithelioid cell granuloma with Langhans giant cells and central necrosis with nuclear debris (H and E, x200)

case_images: Both the specimens revealed the presence of epithelioid cell granulomas with multiple Langhans type of giant cells and surrounding lymphocytes [Figure 3].
