A 2-year-old female ostrich had become gradually emaciated over a 4-month period and subsequently died. Gross necropsy revealed a granulomatous mass filling the right nasal passageways. Microscopically, the mass contained numerous thin, regular-diameter, septate, branching fungal hyphae consistent with Aspergillus sp. and foreign plant material. This appears to be the first report of a mycotic granuloma limited to the nasal cavities of an ostrich or any other ratite species.
一只2岁雌性鸵鸟在4个月内逐渐消瘦，随后死亡。大体尸检发现一个肉芽肿性肿块充满右侧鼻腔。显微镜下，该肿块包含许多细的、直径规则、有隔膜、分支的真菌菌丝，符合曲霉菌属特征，还有外来植物物质。这似乎是首例关于鸵鸟或任何其他平胸鸟类鼻腔局限性霉菌性肉芽肿的报道。
