Abstract: A case of pleural sapergillosis, which is relatively less common pulmonary aspergillosis, is reported. A 31-year-old male patient was admitted for right pneumothorax with pleural fluid. Having complication of multiple bulla at the apex pulmonis, he underwent resection of partial lung and thickened pleura. Examination result of cultured pleural fluid was negative. However, intrapleural aspergillosis was histologically recognized, hence a diagnosis of pleural aspergillosis was made.
