Abstract
Invasive aspergillosis is a disease known to manifest in immunocompromised hosts. It is a opportunistic disease which spreads by air and occurs predominantly in lungs, although dissemination to virtually any organ is possible. We report an unusual case of invasive aspergillosis with invasion of lung, lymph nodes and esophagus without having any apparent immunodeficient state.
