Open thoracotomy procedures serve as the mainstay for surgical resection of pulmonary aspergilloma. These procedures are considered among the most challenging for thoracic surgeons, and postoperative morbidity and mortality rates are high. Here, we present patient who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy for aspergilloma. Based on the success of the operation, we suggest that video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical resection be considered as an option for pulmonary aspergilloma.
