The authors describe a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis with lethal outcome within five weeks from surgical resection. The lesion consisted of a multilocular abscess in the left parietal lobe. The histopathologic findings showed a granulomatous reaction surrounding the abscess cavities. The causative fungus was clearly visible because of its brown-pigmented, septate, branched hyphae and spherical thick-walled cells, sometimes inside the multinucleated giant cells. Although no cultures were obtained from the exsudate, the possible diagnosis of cerebral cladosporiosis is discussed.
作者描述了一例脑暗色丝孢霉病病例，患者在手术切除后五周内死亡。病变为左顶叶的多房性脓肿。组织病理学检查结果显示脓肿腔周围有肉芽肿反应。致病真菌清晰可见，因其具有棕色色素、有隔膜、分支的菌丝以及球形厚壁细胞，有时存在于多核巨细胞内。尽管未从渗出物中培养出真菌，但仍对脑分支孢子菌病的可能诊断进行了讨论。
