Abstract: Objective To explore the MSCT features of airway-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.Methods MSCT features of 27 cases of airway-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis confirmed by pathology or clinical experience were analyzed retrospectively.Results The lesions in 27 cases were distributed along the blood vessel and bronchus and located mainly in the upper and middle lung field in 19 cases.Multiple centrilobular nodules and tree-in-bud sign were found in 27 cases and bronchial wall thickening and patchy opacities around the bronchi were in 25 cases.Bronchiectasis was seen in 17 cases,and cavity-like change and inter-cavity separation were in 15 cases.In 22 cases of follow-up,the lesion progressed within 1 week after diagnosised and treatmented in 20 cases and recurred in slow recovery stage in 5 cases.Conclusion MSCT findings of airway-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis are various which may rapidly progress within a short time.MSCT palys an important role in the evolution and follow-up of airway-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
