Chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis (CFPA) is the terminal fibrosing evolution of chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA).
Pathology
This situation tends to occur when CCPA remains untreated resulting in extensive pulmonary fibrosis. The fibrosis may be limited to one or both upper lobes but can also involve a whole hemithorax.
