Case presentation We report the case of a 58-year-old Caucasian woman who developed bronchial stump aspergillosis two years after a left upper lobe resection for lung cancer. Bronchial stump aspergillosis was diagnosed as a result of a focus of increased fluorodeoxyglucose activity in a follow-up positron emission tomography and computed tomography scan. She was treated with oral antifungal therapy and presented with good evolution after three months of treatment. Conclusion Bronchial stump aspergillosis is an unusual complication after pulmonary resection. Clinicians should be aware of it when a local recurrence of cancer around the bronchial stump is suspected based on a positive positron emission tomography and computed tomography finding. Introduction Aspergillus species colonization of an endobronchial suture with the appearance of reacting bronchial granulation tissue is a rare event that has been associated with the use of silk for sutures 1 . Disease usually appears some months after surgery generally with cough and hemoptysis 2 3 . We report the case of a woman with a history of lung cancer treated by left upper lobe resection who was diagnosed with bronchial stump aspergillosis BSA after increased fluorodeoxyglucose FDG activity in a positron emission tomography and a computed tomography PET-CT scan initially led to a suspicion of tumor recurrence. Both the PET-CT and bronchoscopic .
