'Fungal soup': Report of two cases of tumour-like blocked pulmonary cavities with liquid content infected with aspergilli, a rare form of pulmonary aspergillosis.
Two cases of a rare and uncommonly described form of Aspergillus lung disease were diagnosed from incidental CXR abnormalities. This strange presentation has been described in the literature as 'tumour-like blocked pulmonary cavities with liquid content infected by aspergilli'. The details of these two cases are reported together with a discussion of the diagnostic features of the disease and its position in the spectrum of pulmonary diseases caused by Aspergillus.
