| Abstract | Chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis is characterized by a pulmonary infiltration with cavitation in patients with chronic pulmonary disease, slight immunodeficiency or healthy patients. A 57-year-old man with non-small cell carcinoma who has had radiotherapy was admitted with a history of left side pleuritic chest pain, non-productive cough, fever and dyspnea. Aspergillus fumigatus was found in his mycological exams of BAL fluid. Serum examination presented positive galactomannan. Final diagnosis was semi-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis treated with voriconazole. |
