title: [A case report of cavernostomy for lung aspergilloma].
abstract: A 65-year-old male patient with right upper lobe aspergilloma treated surgically due to continuation of hemoptysis was reported. Cavernostomy was indicated in this patient, since he had a low respiratory function. After cavernostomy, cavitry infection with MRSA occurred and additional operation was necessary. We should gave great care to intra-cavitary infection. Loss of lung function after the operation seemed to be minimal.
