A case report of endobronchial semi-invasive aspergillosis

Pulmoner aspergillozis üç ana başlık altında sınıflandırılabilir. Bunlar; invaziv pulmoner aspergillozis, allerjik bronkopulmoner aspergillozis ve aspergillomadır. Bazen hastalığın birden fazla formu aynı anda bulunabilir. Akciğer dokusunda lokal invazyon oluşturan semiinvaziv aspergillozis aspergillomadan farklıdır. Biz akciğer grafisinde soliter pulmoner nodul olan 42 yaşında sağlıklı bir bayan hastada endobronşiyal seminuaziu aspergillozis tanısı koyduk ue literatür bilgisi ışığında sunmayı amaçladık.

Bir endobronşiyal semi-invaziv aspergillozis olgusu

Pulmonary aspergillosis may be classified under three main categories. These are invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and aspergilloma. Sometimes more than one form of the disease may be present at the same time. Semi invasive aspergillosis is different from aspergilloma in that there is local invasion of the lung tissue. We hane observed a previously healthy 42 year old female with a solitary pulmonary nodule on her radiograms. A diagnosis of endobronchial semiinvasive aspergillosis was established in this patient. We aimed to present this case report with a review of the literature.
