Bronchomalacia in adults is rare. A case is reported here of a 65-year-old man with severe cough and mucostasis, caused by a benign bronchomalacia of the ventral wall of the left main bronchus. This was treated successfully with the insertion of a silicone Dumon stent as an alternative to surgical bronchoplasty.
