Aspergilloma formation in cavitary sarcoidosis.
Pulmonary cavitation is rather uncommon in patients with sarcoidosis, and aspergilloma is even more uncommon in such cases. Here, we present the case of a 63-year-old female patient with cavitary lung disease who had been under treatment for TB for 9 months. A diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis was established based on the fiberoptic bronchoscopy finding of noncaseating granuloma. Treatment wit...

A chest computed tomography (CT) scan detected mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy (Picture 1A) and the diffuse small nodules that were slightly predominant in the left lower lobe (Picture 1B).

متن کاملChronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by Aspergillus complicated with pulmonary aspergilloma.
A 57-year-old man consulted our hospital with a history of the gradual onset of dyspnea and a productive cough.

He was diagnosed as having pulmonary aspergilloma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). As an ou...
متن کاملSarcoidosis and aspergilloma. The role of surgery.
Fibrocystic pulmonary disease is a common sequel of chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis, and the subsequent development of intracavitary aspergillomas is frequent, especially in black patients. Pulmonary hemorrhage from aspergilloma is second only to cardiorespiratory failure as the cause of death in sarcoidosis. Opinions regarding the role of resectional surgery are conflicting. We report observatio...
