Abstract

Pulmonary aspergillosis may present with three different features, according to the immune status of the host. These forms are invasive aspergillosis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) or aspergilloma. Bronchial involvement is an uncommon type of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. We encountered an unusual case of an endobronchial aspergillosis that completely obstructed the left upper lobe, which was initially thought to be lung cancer. We report this case along with a review of the relevant literature.

저자들은 좌상엽 기관지를 막아 종양을 형성하여 폐암으로 오인된 기관지내 아스페르길루스증 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
