Abstract
Bronchial stump aspergillosis (BSA) is an unusual entity. We report a case presenting hemoptysis four years after right upper lobe resection because of lung cancer. Simple removal of the silk suture is most likely the treatment of choice. No additional local or systemic antifungal therapy is needed.
