[Pulmonary aspergilloma successfully operated on in a patient with the pentalogy of Fallot].
Fallot disease occurs in 10% of congenital heart diseases. This case showed a clinical association between Fallot disease and a pulmonary aspergilloma. A 44-years male, with a history of Fallot disease (diagnosed in childhood) and a normal life, was admitted for repeated hemoptysis during last three months. Clinical examination revealed signs of Fallot disease: cyanosis, finger clubbing. CT scan and chest X-ray revealed a cavitary image in the right upper lobe. The CT image revealed a typical aspect of cavitary aspergilloma. The patient was referred to the thoracic surgeon, a right upper lobectomy was performed, which confirmed the presence of aspergilloma. Postoperative evolution was good.
