Key Clinical Message Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis ( IPA ) often occurs during the treatment of malignant lymphoma. However, invasive tracheobronchial aspergillosis ( ITBA ) is a rare form of IPA . Particularly, due to the decrease in immunity associated with chemotherapy, it is difficult to diagnose ITBA only by CT imaging and serological findings. Pathologic diagnosis by bronchoscopy is important.
