Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report a case of aspergilloma in a pulmonary abscess being the first manifestation of malignant bronchial obstruction. In our case, only the autopsy revealed that planocellular carcinoma was the real cause of aspergilloma. Malignant bronchial obstruction finally resulted in pulmonary abscess with secondary fungal colonization. The co-existence of these pathologies is uncommon, and the situation we report is extremely rare. Even in cases when there are no radiological, bronchoscopical or cytological signs of malignancy, as in our case, careful observation of these patients is necessary. Surgical approach should be considered whenever possible. |
