Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) is characterized by extensive and invasive fibro-inflammatory proliferation, triggered by a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to variety of infective or noninfective stimuli. The infective agents often have a geographic distribution such as Histoplasma capsulatum in North America and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Asian regions. In few reports, the mediastinitis is caused by fungi, particularly Aspergillus species. We report the first case of possible aspergillous FM in a young pregnant woman.
纤维性纵隔炎（FM）的特征是广泛的侵袭性纤维炎症增殖，由对多种感染性或非感染性刺激的迟发型超敏反应引发。感染源往往具有地域分布特点，如北美洲的荚膜组织胞浆菌和亚洲地区的结核分枝杆菌。在少数报告中，纵隔炎由真菌引起，尤其是曲霉菌种。我们报告了首例年轻孕妇可能患有曲霉菌性FM的病例。
