“…Aspergillus keratitis [7] and endophthalmitis are well known and can be caused by minor trauma [8] or surgery [9]. Endogenous aspergillus endophthalmitis [10][11][12] and aspergillus orbital cellulitis [13][14][15] have been reported in immunocompromised patients [16].…”

A 30-year-old healthy female presented with a 1-year history of chronic mucous discharge, tearing, and irritation in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed severe papillary and follicular reaction surrounding a movable subconjunctival mass on the left upper tarsal conjunctiva. Incision and curettage were performed to establish the diagnosis. Multiple peculiar black mulberry nodules were obtained. The clumps of septate hyphae seen with periodic acid-Schiff stain were characteristic of fungus ball (aspergilloma). The patient's symptoms improved significantly after surgery without any antifungal therapy. Although rarely reported, aspergillus is a common fungus in the conjunctiva that may seed into the subconjunctiva. We present this case to remind ophthalmologists of such a rare cause of recalcitrant conjunctival inflammation in immunocompetent patients.

In immunosuppressed patients with clinical and radiological signs for a sinusitis and a periorbital inflammation an invasive fungal sinusitis should be considered. Pathogenic aspergillus species are the most common identified in fungal sinusitis. The disease with often lethal outcome requires a careful and fast diagnostic and therapy as well as interdisciplinary co-operation. If and when limited or extensive surgery should be performed remains, because of the rarity and the lacking experience with this disease, still a controversially discussed issue and depends on several factors: the kind of disease, the immunity, the subtype of invasive fungal sinusitis and the degree of tissue invasion.
