| The term aspergillosis describes the disease caused by Aspergillus species. The most common pathogen in this genus is Aspergillus fumigatus. Anatomic pulmonary resection is the preferred treatment modality in most of cases especially the presence of the localized disease, but sometimes patients complicate by prolonged air leakage, pleural space problems, and infection of this residual space. We reported a patient who undergone left upper lobectomy because of aspergilloma in the left upper lobe. After the operation, the patient’s condition became complicated because of expansion failure of the lung and space problems. After the period of conservative treatment, urgent re-operation was needed because of acute hemorrhage from the chest tube. Hemorrhage was controlled, but disseminated pleural aspergillosis and infection in the pulmonary arterial stump were seen in the thoracic cavity. Completion pneumonectomy and pleural decortication were applied, and the antifungal therapy was arranged. With this report, we aim to evaluate the relation between disseminated pleural aspergillosis and inflammatory erosion of pulmonary arterial stump. It is also important to consider possibility of dissemination of the Aspergillus infection especially in patients with expansion failure after lung resection. |
