Abstract
In many cases, the diagnosis of pulmonary
aspergilloma become difficult on the basis of radiological
sign by chest X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan
as it can produce wide variety of radiographic changes.
Often there is a diagnostic dilemma between lung malignancy
and pulmonary aspergilloma. The diagnosis also can be
established by sputum examination and culture. In our case,
we report a 40-year old male presented with cough and
hemoptysis. He was subsequently diagnosed as a case of
pulmonary aspergilloma on the basis of evidence of
radiological findings mainly.
