ABSTRACT
Invasive aspergillosis is an infection that occurs in immunocompromised patients. Its prevalence was increased in the last decade with progression of antineoplastic chemotherapy and immunosuppressive therapy after transplantation. Because it carries a high mortality and morbidity, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are critical for successful management. In many patients, invasive aspergillosis remains confined to the lung although direct extension to pleural cavity or pericardium has been reported. However great vessel involvement is rare. Therefore we report a case of invasive aspergillosis involving right subclavian artery and chest wall in a patient after chemotherapy for acute lympoblastic leukemia.
