A case report of IPA with chronic mass calcification in a neutropenic patient

Aspergillosis is a serious pathologic condition caused by Aspergillus organisms and is frequently seen in immunocompromised patients. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) which is rare, has been identified as one of the histological subtypes of aspergillosis. It is one of the rare chronic infectious diseases of respiratory system in China, and presents high morbidity, high drug resistance and specific imaging characteristics. This paper focused on a rare case report of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with chronic mass calcification. CT imaging was discussed by contrast with clinical manifestations, aiming to survey the invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and the mass calcification and to improve the clinical differential diagnosis.
