Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis with coexistant aspergilloma : a case report
INTRODUCTION: The coexistence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and aspergilloma is rare.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 56-year-old Caucasian man who worked as a farmer, with infiltrates in the right lower and middle lung lobes, partial consolidation of the middle lobe and with previous diagnosis of chronic obstructive bronchitis. Evaluation of our patient led to the diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis with coexistent aspergilloma in the right lower lobe. He was treated with oral methylprednisolone and itraconazole. At the five-year follow-up he is without any sign of recurrence.
CONCLUSION: Aspergillus infection after the inhalation of spores in the form of a hypersensitivity reaction and saprophytic colonization can be coexistent.
