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. The aspergilloma occurred in a tracheal stent implanted during tracheal allograft for tracheal cancer. A combination of local and systemic antifungal was used with successful result.
