We present an immunocompromised patient with a painless testicular mass. Usually, this mass is suspicious for testicular cancer; however, a fungal abscess from Pseudallescheria boydii was found. The patient eventually died from disseminating infection. This is the first such report of a testicular infection involving P. boydii. Early diagnosis and treatment are paramount because of the poor outcome with disseminated disease.
我们报告一例免疫功能低下的患者,其睾丸出现无痛性肿块。通常情况下,这种肿块怀疑为睾丸癌;然而,最终发现是由波氏假阿利什霉引起的真菌性脓肿。该患者最终死于播散性感染。这是首例关于波氏假阿利什霉引起睾丸感染的报告。鉴于播散性疾病预后较差,早期诊断和治疗至关重要。
