Bronchiectasis Due to Aspergilloma

G. D. PESLE M.D.1 and OLIVIER MONOD M.D.1

1 Dieudonné Sanatorium, Cambo, France.

The characteristics of a new and rare disease, bronchial aspergilloma, have been defined using nine cases to illustrate the diagnostic points. The pathological picture and the clinical aspects of this disease and its roentgenological characteristics have been described.

Aspergilloma is a pulmonary mycelium tumor due to the aspergillus, characterized by hemoptyses, absence of tubercle bacillus and a peculiar x-ray appearance.

Segmental resection appears to be the most satisfactory treatment for this disease.

We suggest that the name previously used "intrabronchiectatic megamycetoma Dévé" be discarded and that the lesion be known under the term of "bronchiectatis-producing".
