Article information

Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 70 años con antecedentes de insuficiencia renal crónica, que presenta un cuadro de hemorragia pulmonar difusa con hemoptisis franca, disnea aguda, hipoxemia, anemia e infiltrados alveolares en la radiografía de tórax. No pudiendo diagnosticarse por métodos incruentos, fue precisa la realización de toracotomía y biopsia pulmonar. Los hallazgos anatomopatológicos fueron compatibles con granulomatosis broncocéntrica con aspergi-llosis asociada.

We report a 70 years old female patient with an history of chronic renal failure who presented diffuse alveolar haemorrhage with gross hemoptysis, acute dyspnea, hypoxemia, anemia, and alveolar infiltrates on the chest roentgenogram. Since it was not possible to establish the diagnosis by non-invasive means, thoracotomy and lung biopsy were required. Pathological findings were consis-tent with bronchocentric granulomatosis with associated aspergillosis.
