OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study was designed to examine the acute and long-term outcomes after surgical treatment of @entity1 with @entity358 . @entity1 AND METHODS: From 1992 to 2006, 24 @entity1 (21 @entity1 , mean age 58.4 years) with @entity358 underwent pulmonary resection. Operative indications were massive or repetitive hemoptysis in 6 @entity1 , medically unmanageable localized infection in 14 @entity1 , and undetermined mass in 4 @entity1 . Eighteen @entity1 (75.0 %) had background @entity358 and four @entity1 (16.7 %) were mildly immunocompromised. Eight @entity1 had @entity1538 , while sixteen @entity1 had @entity7319 . Two @entity1 with @entity4327 had their pleural spaces sterilized before pulmonary resections. Fungus balls and pulmonary cavities along with the surrounding lung were removed in all @entity1 . RESULTS: Surgical procedures consisted of 13 lobectomies, 5 pneumonectomies including one completion pneumonectomy, 2 segmentectomies and 4 wedge resections. @entity260 occurred in 10 @entity1 (41.6 %) and one @entity1 died from @entity548 due to postoperative @entity3509 . Other major complications were prolonged air leaks, @entity548 , and chylothorax. In the follow-up period, all but one @entity1 were free from @entity2381 . Hemoptysis was not seen in any @entity1 . Overall survival rates at 2, 5, and 10 years were 86.6 %, 79.4 % and 79.4 %, respectively. Disease-free survival rates from @entity2381 were 86.6 %, 72.6 % and 72.6 % at 2, 5, and 10 years, respectively. CONCLUSION: Pulmonary resection for aspergilloma showed favorable acute and long-term outcomes when surgical treatment was applied in selected @entity1 .
