Abstract(s)
Schizophyllum commune is a basidiomycetes worldwide distributed that has emerged as cause of invasive infections in immunosuppressed patients. We present a case of a man who was simultaneously diagnosed with a small cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and a sphenoid sinusitis by S. commune. Intraoperative observation and histology description were crucial to consider an alternative diagnosis to mucormycosis suggested by the MRI. The diagnosis was made based on PCR identification and sequencing.
