Isolated cerebellar pheohyphomycosis in a patient with combined hepatic and renal transplantation
We present a case of isolated cerebellar pheohyphomycosis in 48-year-old male diagnosed on histopathological examination. Patient was on immunosuppressive medication as he had received combined hepatic and renal transplantation. Discussion Isolated cerebellar involvement is extremely uncommon in pheohyphomycosis. These fungi have melanin pigment present in their walls which helps them in evading host defence. Tissue for performing fungal culture may not be always available in brain infections as biopsy tissue is not routinely sent for culture in unsuspected cases. In these patients histopathological examination with spec...
