RESUMO
Neste relato, é apresentada a história clínica de um paciente jovem, portador de aplasia medular, em propedêutica para neutropenia febril. Ecocardiograma transesofágico revelou massa intra-atrial esquerda de grandes dimensões, com alto risco de embolização sistêmica. Foi submetido a cirurgia para ressecção da massa atrial, sendo o material enviado para o exame anatomopatológico, o qual revelou trombo infectado por Aspergillus sp (endocardite fúngica). Ecocardiogramas realizados no 7º dia pós-operatório revelaram rápida recidiva da massa intra-atrial. Paciente evoluiu com piora clínica, insuficiência respiratória, parada cardiorrespiratória e óbito.
