Abstract

Aspergilloma is a mass-like fungus ball consisting of Aspergillus fumigatus. Aspergilloma occurs in patients with pulmonary structural abnormalities in which the presence of a previous cavity is the predisposing factor that most often results in Aspergillus colonization, especially in tuberculosis endemic countries. 28 y.o and  33 y.o female , complained of hemoptysis, chest pain, weight loss, and a history of TB treatment. The chest X-ray and CT scan revealed a solid lesion with an “Air-crescent sign” indicating Aspergilloma lesion. Patients were given symptomatic, anti-fungal drugs, and supported  by embolization procedure to reduce hemoptysis. The patient's condition began to improve after treatment. Imaging findings in x-rays and CT scans that point to Aspergilloma will help doctors in further management to provide a better prognosis for the patient.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is an epithelial cancer that develops from the lining of the nasopharynx. Nasopharyngeal cancer is a highly radiosensitive and chemosensitive type of tumor. Chemoradiotherapy is the treatment backbone for locoregionally advanced NPC; induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy is the new standard-of-care therapy in this disease setting. A 49-year-old male patient was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer T2N3Mx. The patient experienced a delay in his radiotherapy treatment for 6 months, and this delayed time and overall treatment time (OTT) affected the development of the patient’s therapy. The patient underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy procedures and showed good results. The size of the mass reduced, and, based on the result of the biopsy, what remained was non-specific chronic inflammation. Keywords: NPC, progression, radiation therapy, waiting time
