Abstract:
Pulmonary aspergillosis and lung cancer rarely occur simultaneously. We report a 66-year-old man with a round shadow in the thin-wall cavity of the right upper lobe. Radiological findings and transbronchial biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma complicated by aspergilloma at the site. Right upper lobectomy suggested that early lung cancer arose from preexisting lung scars containing an aspergilloma.
