Invasive aspergillosis is the most widely known severe manifestation, but other forms can need intensive care.Our purpose is to report a case of tracheal aspergilloma and provide a review of the literature concerning endobronchial aspergillus.We report a case of tracheal aspergilloma causing tracheal obstruction in a patient admitted in the ICU for respiratory distress.
