Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis characterized by chest pain and high‐attenuation mucus on computed tomography

Abstract

Abstract A 45‐year‐old woman developed chest pain on the previous day. High‐attenuation mucus in the bronchus was found on the CT examination on admission, which led to a diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis. CT should be checked carefully for high‐attenuation mucus because this finding is highly specific for allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis.
