Abstract
Aspergilloma also known as fungal ball or mycetoma, is a saprophytic mycotic infection caused by Aspergillus species which usually colonizes pre-existing cavitary or cystic lesions in the lung. Here, we have a rare case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with bilateral bronchiectasis complicated by aspergilloma. Although the existence of aspergilloma is common in pre-existing lung cavities, its coexistence in patients with IPF is a rarity, and the incidence of such cases in the literature remains sparse. Here is an interesting case report of aspergilloma co-existing with IPF. This article comprehensively analyzes the existing literature depicting similar associations and the possible etiology for the development of aspergilloma in patients with IPF.
