Abstract:
Life-threatening haemoptysis may complicate aspergillomas within pre-existing lung cavities. Treatment options have included lung resection, pulmonary or bronchial artery embolisation and antifungal therapy administered either systemically or by endobronchial or percutaneous instillation. We present a case of aspergilloma complicating small vessel vasculitis, and its successful treatment using radiotherapy.
