A 55-year-old man, who presented with recurrent episodes of hemoptysis, was referred to our hospital under the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis with a cavity in the right lung. Computed tomography showed a large thick-walled cavity in the right upper lung. He underwent right upper lobectomy. Pathological findings showed a large cavity in right upper lobe. Aspergillus was found in the cavity. A pseudoaneurysm, which was thought to be a cause of hemoptysis, originated from a ruptured pulmonary artery and protruded into the cavity. Hemoptysis is well-known symptom in aspergillosis patients, and surgery for aspergillosis with hemoptysis is sometimes performed. But it is very rare that bleeding point is detected microscopically.
