Spinal cord compression due to an aspergilloma

R C Polatty et al. South Med J. 1984 May.

Abstract

Aspergilloma is a common complication of cystic lung disease; it is widely considered to be a saprophytic colonization and local or disseminated invasion is unusual. We describe a patient with stage IV sarcoidosis and bilateral aspergillomas in whom locally invasive disease led to spinal cord compression.
