We describe the case of a 37-year-old female with chronic progressive pulmonary aspergillosis (CPPA) with anorexia nervosa (AN) while undergoing haemodialysis for renal failure, who had video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) due to recurrent haemoptysis. She was referred to the Department of Respiratory Medicine for evaluation of an abnormal chest shadow. She was diagnosed with CPPA by serological examinations, radiological features, and bacterial culture. She was initially treated with oral antifungal therapy and transcatheter embolization. VATS lobectomy was eventually performed despite the AN and haemodialysis because of poorly controlled haemoptysis. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the final histopathological examination confirmed CPPA.
