Aspergilloma is a non-invasive form of pulmonary aspergillosis usually presenting as a clump of mold in pre-existing cavitary lung disease. Aspergillus related lung diseases have been classified into four types, whose manifestation is often related to previous lung diseases and host immunologic status.
Cases of cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis without any evidence of pre-existing cavities, are rarely reported. We present here a case of pulmonary aspergillosis in which cavity formation appeared apparently after the establishment of infection.
The occurrence of atypical presentations and the importance of recognizing these unusual cases of pulmonary aspergilloma is discussed.
曲霉菌球是一种非侵袭性的肺部曲霉菌病，通常表现为在先前存在的空洞性肺部疾病中出现一团霉菌。与曲霉菌相关的肺部疾病已被分为四种类型，其表现通常与先前的肺部疾病和宿主免疫状态有关。
无任何先前存在的空洞证据的空洞性肺曲霉病病例很少报道。我们在此介绍一例肺曲霉病，其中在感染确立后明显出现了空洞形成。
讨论了非典型表现的发生以及认识这些不典型肺曲霉菌球病例的重要性。
