ABSTRACT
A 7-year-old boy with acute lymphocytic leukemia was presented with a few painful erythematous deep seated nodules on the abdomen, leg, and arm. In the skin biopsy, fungal hyphae were found in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Aspergillus flavus was cultured and isolated by repeated fungal culture from tissue pieces of skin biopsy specimens. A chest X-ray, chest CT and ultrasonography of the upper abdomen revealed no abnormalities, so he was diagnosed by primary cutaneous aspergillosis. We started treatment with amphotericin B and surgical resection, but he had already developed sepsis and expired.
