Presentamos dos pacientes con ABPA en los que la forma de presentación con asma poco expresivo clínicamente, las imágenes radiológicas de atelectasia lobar y las adenopatías hiliares sugerían, como primera posibilidad, el diagnóstico de una neoplasia pulmonar.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) develops as the result of a hypersensitivity reaction to fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Clinical and radiological presentation can be atypical, requiring a high degree of suspicion on the part of the physician who treats such patients. We report the cases of two patients with APBA in whom the form of pres
