A 63-year-old woman with chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis complicated by active pulmonary tuberculosis is reported. A small infiltrative shadow appeared, but no definite diagnosis was made. Six years later the shadow was found to have increased in size; chest CT revealed a fungus ball, while a transbronchial lung biopsy revealed aspergillus hyphae. The intrabronchial inoculation of amphotericin B proved ineffective, and a lobectomy was performed. Histopathologic findings showed necrotic granulomas containing aspergillus and some acid-fast bacilli. While the superinfection of healed tuberculous lesions by Mycobacteria or Aspergillus species is well documented, their coexistence is rare.
