Case highlights bronchoscopic removal of aspergilloma in older patients, suggesting viable non-surgical alternatives.
A 76‐year‐old man was diagnosed with aspergilloma in the left upper lobe. Due to advanced age and recurring colon cancer, surgery was not an option. The aspergilloma was removed with biopsy forceps. Then, the lesion and sputum were decreased. Bronchoscopic removal can be considered, particularly for patients without surgical indications.
