Pulmonary aspergilloma--radiological observations. 1989

P Singh, and P Kumar, and R P Bhagi, and R Singla

The radiological appearances of 49 cases of aspergilloma seen over a period of 6 years among 36,340 hospital admissions are described. All the 49 patients had pulmonary tuberculosis as underlying disease with 6 (12.2%) having bacteriologically active disease. One patient had concomitant allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Upper zone distribution, large cavity size, moderately thick cavity wall and overlying pleural thickening were some of the prominent features observed. Two cases of multiple (3 each) and 4 of bilateral aspergilloma were seen. Of 57 aspergillomas 47 were round or oval, 7 oblong, 2 polypoidal and 1 lobulated. Positional movement was observed in 30 cases. Spontaneous lysis was seen in one case. Tomography and lordotic view were found to be very useful techniques when postero-anterior films were unrevealing. The radiologic diagnosis of aspergilloma was confirmed by demonstration of serum precipitins against aspergilli in 44 cases.
