    Abstract:
    A 52-year-old woman who had received a right upper lobectomy and thoracoplasty for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis 30 years prior to the present disorder, was admitted to out hospital with massive hemoptysis. We diagnosed aspergilloma clinically because chest X-ray showed a fungus ball-like mass with meniscus sign. Right middle and lower lobectomies were performed after the 7th bronchial arterial embolization for recurrent hemoptysis. The resected specimen showed a mass of old gauze, a so-called "gauzeoma". We have found no previous reports of gauzeoma with both meniscus sign and recurrent massive hemoptysis mimicking aspergilloma.
