title: Pulmonary aspergilloma.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Aspergillosis is a serious pathologic condition caused by Aspergillus organisms and is frequently seen in immunocompromised patients. Aspergillus species causes a variety of pulmonary diseases such as saphrophyticus (aspergilloma/mycetoma), hypersensitivity reaction (allergic bronhopulmonary), semi- invasive (chronic necrotizing) and angioinvasive aspergillosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of pulmonary aspergilloma (PA) in 38 years old patient who was previously healthy with complaints of fever and hemoptysis. PA was diagnosed radiologically and confirmed by serology.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Oral itraconazole was administered. The patient responded well to the treatment with improvement in his systemic symptoms and regression of the pulmonary lesions.
