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.
