Abstract
We reported two resected cases of aspergillosis complicated by cancer. Case 1 was a 63 year-old male. His chest roentgenogram revealed a cyst containing a round mass shadow in the cavity. Right upper and middle bilobectomy was performed. Histologically aspergilloma combined with lung cancer forming a cavity was demonstrated. Case 2 was a 54 year-old male in whom an abnormal shadow in chest x-ray film and compression film of the stomach were pointed out. As a result of left upper lobectomy and subtotal gastrectomy, a fungus ball in the left S1+2 and early type IIa+IIc gastric cancer were demonstrated.
The incidence of pulmonary aspergillosis complicated with solid tumor is low, and cases with complications prior to cancer treatment are very rare.
