Torulosis is an uncommon, but potentially lethal disease. The aim of this report is to indicate that resection of isolated pulmonary lesions due to torulosis is a safe procedure. Resection has proved useful in the definitive diagnosis and treatment of eight cases seen in this thoracic surgical unit.
