title: [Successful right pneumonectomy in pulmonary aspergilloma].
abstract: Right extrapleural pneumonectomy was performed on a 50-year-old male with aspergilloma suffering from severe hemoptysis. The post operative course was uneventful and he was discharged on the 30th day following operation. Aspergilloma is a potentially life threatening disease with large hemoptysis. So surgery is the only choice for treatment. We discussed the preoperative and postoperative problems including selection of the operative techniques for pulmonary aspergilloma.
