A 62 year-old male complained of hemosputum. As lung abscess was suspected, antibiotic therapy was performed. About one month later, his complaint had not improved and his chest X-ray revealed a mass shadow in the left upper lobe, so he was admitted to our hospital on the suspicion of lung cancer. No malignant cells were obtained by transbronchial lung biopsy, but adenocarcinoma was diagnosed by sputum cytology. Left upper lobectomy was performed, and lung cancer was revealed pathologically with the aspergillus fungi in areas of cancer necrosis. There have been 24 reported cases of lung cancer containing aspergillus, but this report is the 4th in the literature without cavitary formation.
