Fig 1 (A) Chest computed tomography (CT) image of symptomatic intracavitary aspergilloma in the lingula (case 2). (B) Chest CT image of empty cavity in a now-asymptomatic patient (case 2) 26 months after bronchoscopic aspergilloma removal. (C) Chest CT image of large, symptomatic right upper lobe aspergilloma (case 3). (D) Chest CT image of empty right upper lobe cavity in an asymptomatic patient (case 3) 24 months after bronchoscopic aspergilloma removal. (E) Chest CT image of the chest of symptomatic intracavitary aspergilloma in left upper lobe (case 4). (F) Chest CT image of the cavity 3 months after second bronchoscopic aspergilloma removal procedure (involving rigid bronchoscopy) in case 4; there has been minor improvement in cavity wall thickness with incomplete aspergilloma resolution.
