[Surgery of bilateral pulmonary aspergilloma].
A 60-year-old man with cough and fever was admitted to our hospital. Chest radiography revealed multiple bullae and fungus balls in both lungs. He was treated with MCZ and FCZ for about 2 months, but the chest radiograph shadows did not improve and the fever continued. A two-stage operation was performed. The bullae were incised and the fungus balls were removed, then a muscle flap plombage was made with a pectoralis major muscle, a latissimus dorsi muscle and an intercostal muscle. The postoperative course was uneventful and respiratory function was preserved.
