Pseudomembranous necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis.
We report a case of pseudomembranous necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis in a patient with acute myelocytic leukaemia who died of massive haemoptysis. Lobar collapse was demonstrated on chest radiography. CT showed a marked necrotic thickening of the lobar bronchus with extension of the disease in to the peribronchial region.
