Pulmonary aspergillosis is a mycosis that has 3 forms: allergic broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis, chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, and invasive aspergillosis. Pulmonary aspergilloma is a rare pathology that sometimes causes life-threatening hemoptysis. Surgery remains the gold standard in the definitive treatment of aspergilloma-induced hemoptysis with acceptable postoperative morbidity and mortality. We present a case of а 56-year-old man with complaints of intermittent but not abundant hemoptysis. Operative treatment was performed - resection of the culmen, and the final pathological result was a chronic necrotizing aspergilloma. As a postoperative complication, the patient developed a seroma in the region of the postthoracotomy wound, necessitating debridement, and secondary suturing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
