Pulmonary cavitation is a rare complication of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in patients with chronic asthma. Such patients frequently manifest mucoid impaction of a bronchus, "central" saccular bronchiectasis and bronchocentric granulomatosis, a specific microscopic pathologic entity. Early recognition of this syndrome in asthmatic patients and vigorous treatment with steroids may obviate surgery.
肺空洞形成是慢性哮喘患者变应性支气管肺曲霉病的一种罕见并发症。这类患者常表现为支气管黏液嵌塞、“中心型”囊状支气管扩张和支气管中心性肉芽肿，后者是一种特殊的微观病理实体。早期识别哮喘患者的这一综合征并积极使用类固醇治疗可能避免手术。
