Service de chirurgie thoracique, CHU Ibn Sina, Rabat, Maroc.
Study Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to report the results of the surgical treatment in 188 patients operated on for pulmonary aspergilloma in a series of 206 patients observed in Morocco.
Patients And Method: From 1982 to 1998, 206 patients were treated for pulmonary aspergilloma in the same hospital; 188 were operated on and surgery was contraindicated in the other patients with general or respiratory failure. Hemoptysis was the main symptom, present in 190 patients (92%).
Considering 36 observations, the authors show the relative infrequency of pleural aspergillosis localizations by comparison with pulmonary aspergillomas. Twenty four pleural aspergilloses developed on post-operative residual cavities, particularly after pulmonary exeresis and not only for aspergilloma; 11 forms were apparently primitive after therapeutical pneumothorax; 3 anatomo-clinical forms were found, aspergillomas and pyothoraxes were the most frequent. Pleural involvement can be associated to pulmonary, even bronchial involvement.
