Abstract:
We report a coexistence of Mounir-Kuhn syndrome and aspergilloma in a 69-year-old male presented with hemoptysis, cough, shortness of breath and fever. This patient has a history of recurrent hospital admissions for infective exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Diagnostic imaging revealed the presence of aspergilloma and marked dilatation of the trachea and main bronchi, leading to a diagnosis of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome. Given the frequent association of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome with recurrent respiratory infections, we recommend that clinicians consider this syndrome when evaluating patients with recurrent pneumonia.
