ABSTRACT
Aspergillosis is the second most common opportunistic fungal infection in immunocompromised patients yet skin involvement very rarely occurs. Herein, we report on a 22-year-old female renal transplant recipient who presented with multiple subcutaneous nodules. The biopsy and the culture of her cutaneous lesions confirm the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis with skin involvement. Invasive aspergillosis should be included in differential diagnosis of immunocompromised patient with multiple subcutaneous nodules.
