[Aspergillus osteomyelitis of the sternum].
The objective of the work was to describe experience with the treatment of Aspergillus osteomyelitis of the sternum. Radical resection of the affected portion of the bone with subsequent filling of the defect of the part of the omentum majus proved useful. Complete healing occurred after 4 months. Based on their own experience the authors assume that resection therapy is the method of choice in pulmonary aspergilloma. In the described case with affection of the thoracic wall its resection with subsequent filling of the defect by the omentum majus proved useful. The operation was implemented in a single stage.
