Abstract
This is an account of our experience with 2 patients with congenital cyanotic heart disease who developed pulmonary aspergillomas. Neither patient had a demonstrable cavity in the lung before the appearance of the fungus ball. Both patients had pulmonary artery-to-superior vena cava shunts, but the aspergilloma was in the ipsilateral lung in one and the contralateral lung in the other. Repeated life-threatening hemoptyses made excision of the lung containing the cavity and fungus ball necessary in both patients.
