Abstract |
Severely immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for uncommon infectious diseases with atypical presentations. Fusarium sp., has been reported in patients with hematological malignancies and prompt diagnosis is necessary due to high mortality. We report a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patient who presented Fusarium solani infection associated with granulocytic sarcoma as an initial presentation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) transformation. We performed histological examination, immunohistochemistry analysis, culture of the biopsy tissue and DNA sequencing to make a conclusive diagnosis of F. solani and granulocytic sarcoma, reinforcing the necessity of performing complete evaluation of skin lesions in immunocompromised patients.
