Abstract
Pulmoner aspergilloma (miçetoma) genellikle önceki
tüberküloz, fibrotik sarkoidoz veya interstisyel akciğer
hastalıkları dahil fibrokaviter hastalıklar nedeniyle gelişen
kistik ve kaviter lezyonlara kolonize olan Aspergillus
türlerine bağlı gelişen saprofitik bir fungal enfeksiyondur.
İdiyopatik pulmoner fibrozis (İPF), nadir,
kronik ilerleyici fibrotik akciğer hastalığıdır ve olağan
interstisyel pnömoni histolojisi ile karakterizedir. Diyabetik
ve ağır sigara içicisi olan 69 yaşındaki erkek
hasta kuru öksürük, nefes darlığı, ateş ve kilo kaybı
şikayetleri ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Pulmoner aspergilloma
ve İPF birlikteliği tanısı yüksek çözünürlüklü
bilgisayarlı tomografi bulgularına göre kondu. Burada,
İPF zemininde Aspergillus enfeksiyonu gelişmesi ile
ilgili olan bu nadir olguyu literatür eşliğinde sunmak
istedik.

Abstract
Pulmonary aspergilloma (mycetoma) usually is a
saprophytic fungal infection due to aspergillus species
which is colonized and grows into pre-existing cystic/
cavitary lesions resulting from pulmonary tuberculosis
or fibrotic sarcoidosis, or other fibro-cavitary diseases
including interstitial lung diseases. Idiopathic pulmonary
fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, chronic, progressive
fibrotic lung disease, characterized by the histological
pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia. Heavy smoker,
diabetic, a 69-year-old male patient was admitted to
our clinic with complaints of dry cough, fever, dyspnea
on exertion and weight loss. The diagnosis was made
as coexisting of pulmonary aspergilloma and IPF according
to findings on HRCT. Hereby, we wanted to
present this rare case regarding of coexisting of the
development of Aspergillus infection and idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis in the light of the literature.
