Cardiac Aspergillosis with Pedunculated Mass in the Left Ventricle
AUTOR(ES)
Alvarez, José Rubio
RESUMO
Immunosuppression can allow organisms that are not usually pathogenetic to cause disease; under such circumstances, Aspergillus species frequently form large masses of fungal elements. We describe the case of a 12-year-old girl with hematologic remission of leukemia. She had a left ventricular pedunculated mass that was detected by echocardiographic study; at surgery, the presence of Aspergillus terreus was confirmed.
