A Rare Case of Coexisting Lung Carcinoma And Aspergillosis In A Noncavitatory Lung Lesion.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Here we report a rare case of lung adenocarcinoma coexisting with pulmonary aspergillosis in a female. The morphologic coexistence of Aspergillus and the tumor is common in cavitatory lesions. Aspergillosis complicated by lung cancer without cavity formation is very rare. In our case, in the first bronchoscopic biopsy, only aspergillus was detected. In the second biopsy, superficially aspergillus was seen. The tumor cells were obscured by hyphae of aspergillus. After serial and deep sectioning only, we could diagnose bronchogenic carcinoma. Histopathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma with aspergillosis of lung was offered.
