ABSTRACT
The first case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis(ABPA) was reported by Hinson, et al. in 1952. This was followed by a number of significant description of the disorder. Although typical ABPA initially presents with asthma, fleeting pulmonary infiltrates, and marked eosinophilia, there are many other ways in which the disease may be first manifested. Common radiologic findings in ABPA include pulmonary infiltrates, atelectasis, emphysema, fibrosis, lobar shrinkage with hilar elevation, cavitation, pneumothorax, aspergilloma and central bronchiectasis. We experienced a case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis presenting rare radiologic finding of bilateral pulmonary masses in chest radiography. With oral corticosteroid treatment, the size of both pulmonary masses was decreased significantly and his asthmatic symptoms were improved.
