Kyung Soo Lee, Won Kyung Bae, Pyo Nyun Kim, Il Young Kim and Byoung Ho Lee

    Abstract

    We have recently treated two patients having pulmonary aspergillomas and complaining recurrent hemoptysis byusing a percutaneous intracavitary instillation of antifungal agent and mucolytics. These were a 49-year-old and a 50-year-old man in each and had aspergillomas in previous tuberculous cavities. The technique and the method, which are simple and effective, are described with the review of the literatures.
