Park, Kim, Kim, Kim, Lee, Kang, Choi, Yoo, and Park: A Case of Endobronchial Aspergillosis Completely Obstructing Lobar Bronchus

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.
