主訴:腹痛と腹満、発熱

CT findings : diffuse, small-bowel distention with a thickened, distal, ileum wall.
Emergency surgery was performed with resection and immediate anastomosis of the
distal ileum. Pathology of the small bowel showed a wall necrosis and invasion by
Aspergillus fumigatus.
Abdominal CT
Contrast enhanced axial CT scan shows diffuse small-bowel distention with a thickened wall of the
distal ileum, a target sign (arrow), and an inflammation of the perienteric fat.
Macroscopy of the small bowel
shows irregular mucosal ulcerations with disseminated necrosis areas,
and a thick, grey, necrotic debris recovering mucosa.
Pathological findings
Microscopy of the surgical specimen from the ileal resection demonstrates transmural infarction
with fibrin deposits recovering mucosa (hematoxylin and eosin; original magnification Å~2.5).
Pathological findings (Grocott’s)
Aspergillus fumigatus hyphal elements massively invade the wall of a submucosal muscular artery
(Grocotts methenamine silver; original magnification Å~40).
