Abstract:
A 53 year-old woman visited to our hospital due to increased hemoptysis for 4 days. The chest X-ray showed solitary pulmonary nodule on right upper lobe and computed tomography of chest demonstrated mass on posterior segmental bronchus of right upper lobe. Bronchoscopic examination revealed that this segmental bronchus was completely obstructed by a yellow and brownish mud like mass, which was identified as an aspergilloma by pathologic examination. Patient had undergone bilobectomy because of persistent hemoptysis. Tracheobronchial apergillosis in an immunocompetent person is very rare disease. then, we report this case with review of the Korean literature.
