Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis: Bronchoscopic Visualization of a Cavitary Aspergilloma

Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is a common condition seen in immunocompetent patients with lung structural damage. Sometimes, a fungal ball-like mass forms inside a lesion, leading to recurrent hemoptysis. Direct visualization of the aspergilloma inside the cavity is rarely possible; however, this case highlights this unusual presentation.

Abstract

Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is a common condition seen in immunocompetent patients with lung structural damage. Sometimes, a fungal ball-like mass forms inside a lesion, leading to recurrent hemoptysis. Direct visualization of the aspergilloma inside the cavity is rarely possible; however, this case highlights this unusual presentation.
