초록
Brain aspergillosis has been increasing remarkably. They are known to occur commonly in immunocompromised individuals by hematogenous spread from other primary sites or by direct extension from adjacent structures to central nervous system. We report a rare case of a 29-year-old male without any known medical history, who had isolated brain lesion and the pathology from stereotactic biopsy confirmed cerebral aspergillosis.
