A patient with AIDS was hospitalized with a left-sided face swelling and protrusion of the bulbus. After cranial computed tomography and fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the fossa temporalis we diagnosed a mycetoma; localisation and histology made an aspergilloma most probable. Antimycotic therapy led to complete remission of the symptoms. Post mortem we only could culture Candida albicans out of the abscess cavity.
