A case is reported of intracranial granuloma caused by Aspergillus fumigatus involving the anterior cranial fossa and the frontal lobe. In this case, clinical symptoms developed about 5 years before the diagnosis was made. The final diagnosis was made by a craniotomy. The patient was treated with an extensive excision and chemotherapy, but finally he failed to respond to these treatments. We compile a summary of reported cases with a tabulation of pertinent information and discuss the pathogenesis, prognosis, and difficulty in treating this infection.
