Abstract :

Although infrequent, neoplasia of the lung can be disguised by the synchronous presence of a fungal infection. Few cases of incidental adenocarcinoma diagnosed as a result of surgical treatment of pulmonary aspergillosis have been reported. The aim of this review is to raise awareness about this particular occurrence in order to accelerate the correct etiological diagnosis, establish a timely oncological treatment and improve the overall rate of survival in lung cancer patients. In addition, we present a rather particular case of concurrent adenocarcinoma and Aspergillus infection with the purpose of encouraging medical staff to stay mindful of exceptions.
