Between 1983 and 1996., 79 @entity1 '--operated on for @entity358 --clinical data has been analysed. The @entity1 were comprised of 67 males and 12 females, with a mean age of 49 years (range, 24 to 69). @entity358 were observed in about half of the cases (most frequently @entity378 ), while in the other half aspergilloma was developed on the basis of (sub)-acute @entity281 . The most common symptom was haemoptysis (in 45% of cases). Aspergilloma was diagnosed preoperatively (especially by typical chest x-ray) in 62 @entity1 . In the other cases tb, @entity2 , pyosclerosis were suspected. 67 @entity1 underwent pulmonary resection (50 lobectomies, 12 wedge resections, 5 pneumonectomies), 12 cavities were opened by cavernostomy. The postoperative mortality rate was 10.1%. The most frequent complications were @entity548 , prolonged air leak, pleural rest space, @entity3509 , @entity9131 and @entity2737 , which were occurred in cases with bigger cavities near chest wall. In most cases with @entity358 surgery remains the only effective treatment. Operation has a lower risk in asymptomatic @entity1 , without chest wall involvement. In several cases cavernostomy might be applied successfully.
