The migrating mycetoma.
A case of mycetoma is presented in which the fungus ball migrated from the apex to the base of the lung as a result of progressive parencyhmal destruction by tuberculosis. Histological and serological data suggested Aspergillus fumigatus as the cause of the mycetoma. Aspergillomas rarely coexist in cavities with active tuberculosis.
