An unusual case of non-disseminated bladder aspergillosis in a setting of transitional cell carcinoma. Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology. 2012 Jan-Mar; 30(1): 106-108.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/143907A bladder infection of Aspergillus with no evidence of dissemination is rare. We present a case of Aspergillus infection with transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder without any evidence of systemic involvement. A 65-year-old male diabetic whose main complaints were intermittent painful haematuria and nocturia had undergone nephroureterectomy a year and a half back for transitional cell carcinoma of right renal pelvis. Cystoscopy revealed bladder mucosa having fixed broad tumour with encrustation and bleeding on touch at the right vesico-ureteric junction. The histopathologic diagnosis was a high-grade transitional carcinoma with Aspergillus infection. Fungal culture of urine obtained after bladder wash yielded Aspergillus fumigatus.enAspergillusdisseminationtransitional cell carcinomaAgedAspergillosis --diagnosisAspergillosis --microbiologyAspergillosis --pathologyAspergillus fumigatus --isolation & purificationCarcinoma, Transitional Cell --complicationsCystitis --diagnosisCystitis --microbiologyCystitis --pathologyCystoscopyHistocytochemistryHumansMaleUrinary Bladder --microbiologyUrinary Bladder --pathologyUrinary Bladder Neoplasms --complicationsArticle
