Abstract

The second documented case of renal aspergilloma due to Aspergillus flavus is presented. The merits of the medical therapy that failed are discussed. Pathological examination showed a nidus of aspergillus around suture material persisting from a pyelolithotomy operation 2 years before in India. We argue that this was the reason for the failure of the medical therapy. This is the first case of its kind reported.
