Abstract

Bronchial anthracofibrosis was first encountered during the nineteenth century. In that era, this clinical entity was found to be a consequence of occupational exposure. Although still an infrequent finding, diverse etiologies of this finding have emerged. We describe an unusual finding of black mucosal pigmentation in a 15-year-old boy triggered by active tubercular infection.
