Surgical treatment for IPA is remains challenging and controversial due to the potentially high risk of mortality and morbidity.Methods: We discuss 4 leukemia patients who underwent surgery for IPA in our hospital who were successfully treated with curative lobectomy or wedge resection. All patients had uneventful postoperative courses, and all resumed long-term follow-up for their leukemia.Results: All patients have suffered at least once of hemoptysis with radiological findings of lung nodules appearing as ovoid soft-tissue opacities in the lung parenchyma and had undergone antifungal agent treatment for at least 2 weeks.
