Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 09/29/09
Wightman SC et al. – The authors present a 78–year–old nonsmoking, nondiabetic woman with chronic fibrosing mediastinitis due to Aspergillus. Multiple attempts at securing a tissue diagnosis were inconclusive. Ultimately, Aspergillus infection was diagnosed by a video–assisted thoracoscopic surgical biopsy. The patient was started on oral voriconazole, and she remains clinically stable with radiographic improvement. A prolonged, perhaps lifelong, course of antifungal therapy is planned.
