Abstract

This report describes the development of a pleuroperitoneal fistula complicating pleural aspergillosis in a 63-year old non-immunocompromised man treated with itraconazole. The patient presented a confluent granuloma of the abdomen while an abscess of the abdominal wall was disclosed. Skin involvement, usually described in disseminated aspergillosis, has not been reported in pleuropulmonary aspergillosis.
