Abstract

Aspergilloma is the most common form of pulmonary aspergillosis, generally developing pre-existing lung cavities. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is required in case of hemoptysis. We report the case of a 74-year-old man with pulmonary aspergilloma where fiberoptic bronchoscopy visualized mycetoma and cavitation. Visualization and biopsy of the fungus ball during fiberoptic bronchoscopy is rare.
