Özet
The patient who underwent cystotomy and capitonnage surgery of right lung due to a hydatid cyst four years ago in another centre was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of recurrent hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography revealed a cavitary lesion located in the posterior segment of the right lower lobe. Rethoracotomy and right lower lobectomy were performed in the patient for hemoptysis and cavitary lesion. Pathological examination showed bronchiectasis, intraparenchymal hemorrhage and intracavitary aspergilloma. Aspergilloma may develop within residual cavities after pulmonary surgery for hydatid cyst. In this article, a very rare case was presented to emphasize the significance of this pathology for surgical technique, follow-up and treatment.
