Bronchial casts associated with pulmonary lymphatic anomalies

Revue des maladies respiratoires

Abstract

We report a case of a patient who presented with bronchial moulds. The classic causes, particularly bronchopulmonary aspergillosis could not be found. The pulmonary radiology and CT of thorax revealed an alveolar syndrome. Lymphography and lymphoscintigraphy showed evidence of lymphatic anomalies including the non-visualisation of the thoracic canal. In the absence of evidence for other diseases, we would suggest that these anomalies were responsible for the symptomatology.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
