Abstract

Aspergillus infection is relatively rare disease, and we present a case of orbital aspergillus infection who presented with right orbital pain and swelling. Right orbital lesion was identified on CT, MRI, and PET-CT imaging followed by confirmation of aspergillus on histopathological examination. We demonstrate that Tc-99 m ubiquicidin scan can yield positive results in aspergillosis too, enabling its differentiation from non-infective pathologies.
