A Case of a 16-Year-Old Patient With Chronic Invasive Aspergillosis in the Trachea Treated With Segmental Tracheal Resection and Cricotracheal Anastomosis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Chronic invasive aspergillosis is a life-threatening disease, especially in immunocompromised patients. The diagnosis and treatment of tracheal aspergillosis (TA) are challenging because of its rarity and nonspecific clinical presentations. The treatment standard of TA has been medical treatment like other forms of invasive aspergillosis, but patients with medically resistant TA require surgical intervention. We demonstrated a successful surgical outcome of chronic invasive TA in a 16-year-old patient with immunocompromised status related to acute myelocytic leukemia.
