A case of endobronchial aspergilloma presenting as a broncholith.

Chang Dong Yeo1, Myong Ki Baeg, Jin Woo Kim.   

Abstract

A 75-year-old woman with no history of pulmonary disease was admitted to the hospital complaining of fever and chills. Chest computed tomography and bronchoscopy suggested a broncholith-like calcified endobronchial lesion and postobstructive pneumopathy in the left lower bronchus. The mass obstructing the airway was removed using grasping forceps and it was diagnosed pathologically as endobronchial aspergillosis. Endobronchial aspergilloma presenting radiographically as a calcification without adjacent calcified lymph nodes is a rare condition, even though pulmonary fungal diseases including endobronchial actinomycosis can mimic broncholithiasis.
