Pulmonary aspergillosis may be classified under three main

categories. These are invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, allergic

bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and aspergilloma. Sometimes more than

one form of the disease may be present at the same time. Semi-

invasive aspergillosis is different from aspergilloma in that there

is local invasion of the lung tissue. We have observed a previously

healthy 42 year old female with a solitary pulmonary nodule on her

radiograms. A diagnosis of endobronchial semi-invasive aspergillosis

was established in this patient. We aimed to present this case

report with a review of the literature.
