Abstract
Case Report: Case 1 was a 44-year-old female. After antileukemic chemotherapy, antibiotic and antifungal therapy, because pulmonary aspergillosis was suspected due to characteristic CT image, had continued toward lung tumor with fever, but the size of the lung tumor was unchanged. Thus, right lower lobectomy and chest wall resection were performed. Case 2 was a 73-year-old female. Though antibiotic and antifungal therapy toward pneumonia and pleuritis following antileukemic chemotherapy was done, she suffered intrathoracic infection with peumothorax. Therefore, decortication and right S8 wedge resection were performed. In both cases, after operations, pulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed pathologically and the infection could be controlled without major complications. Therefore, surgical resection can be an effective therapy for pulmonary aspergillosis after antileukemic chemotherapy.
