Abstract

Pulmonary aspergilloma is a rare disease, most commonly presenting as secondary invasion of preexisting cavitary disease. Tuberculosis and bronchieetasis were the commonest pre-existing diseases. Between 1990 and 1994, 11 patients[7 male and 4 female underwent thoracotomy for treatment of pulmonary aspergilloma. The mean age was 45.7 years. The most common indication for operation was hemoptysis. Lobectomy was the m&t frequent operation. Major complication occurred in a patient with bronchopleural fistula and treated with open drainage. There was no operative death. It is concluded that elective pulmonary resection is recommended for all patients with aspergilloma who do not constitute prohibitive operative risks.
