Abstract

Aspergillus which is normally found as a colonizer in healthy individuals can manifest in various forms in patients with diseased lung or immunocompromised status. Aspergilloma is one such manifestation whereby the fungus makes its way into preexisting cavities in the lung, the most common underlying etiology being old tuberculous cavities, especially in countries with high TB prevalence. However, we hereby report two cases of Aspergillus infestation as aspergilloma in cavities because of extremely rare causes, namely pulmonary thromboembolism and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, respectively.
