Aspergillus fumigatus abscesses of the thyroid with obstruction of the esophagus

Michael L Sion et al. Thyroid. 2004 Sep.

Abstract

Thyroid invasion by Aspergillus spp. can occur with invasive aspergillosis, although it is rarely diagnosed antemortem. We describe a case of multiple thyroid abscesses from A. fumigatus that caused esophageal obstruction in a patient with myelodysplasia. Despite aggressive antifungal treatment, the outcome was rapidly fatal.
