ABSTRACT
A 70-year-old man was referred to the department of pulmonology due to blood tinged sputum and an abnormal chest X-ray. The chest X-ray and CT scans revealed a lobulated contour mass-like lesion in the left upper lung field. The bronchoscopic examination showed a whitish and polypoid mass occluding the left upper lobe bronchus. A biopsy specimen from the lesion revealed many aspergillus hyphae. Intravenous and oral itraconozole were administered over a 4 weeks period. Several months later, the size of the mass on chest X-ray increased and a percutaneous lung biopsy revealed a sarcomatoid carcinoma. We reported a case of lung cancer that was obscured by an endobronchial aspergilloma with a review of the relevant literature.
