title: Necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis as a cause of hemoptysis in sarcoidosis.
abstract: The case history is presented of a patient with recurrent massive hemoptysis caused by necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis associated with sarcoidosis. The involved segments (right IX and X) were resected for treatment of the life-threatening hemoptysis. Histologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis. Necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis is a rare variant form of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and has not been described previously as a cause of hemoptysis in sarcoidosis.
