ABSTRACT
Necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis usually occurs in the immumocompromised host. Aspergillus invades bronchial epithelium and forms endobronchial mass or endobronchial stenosis. A 78-year-old male patient with diabetus mellitus complaining of dyspnea and cough was admitted to our hospital. Plain chest X-ray and chest computed tomogram showed a large endobronchial mass and total collapse of left upper lobe of the lung. Bronchoscopic biopsy of the endobronchial mass revealed chronic inflammation. To confirm the endobronchial mass, we performed sleeve lobectomy of left upper lobe of the lung. Histologically the mass was diagnosed as necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis. We report a case of necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis in an elderly man who has diabetus mellitus with review of the literature.
