Late aspergilloma of a renal allograft without need for operative management: a case report and review of the literature.

E M Shannon1, M J A Reid2, P Chin-Hong2.   

Abstract

Aspergillus infection localized to the renal allograft is a rare and potentially life-threatening infection and typically requires a combination of operative and medical management. We report the case of a renal allograft aspergilloma in a renal transplant patient presenting 2 years post transplant, successfully managed non-surgically. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient presenting with an allograft aspergilloma so long after transplantation and being successfully managed with antifungal therapy alone.
