Abstract: Herein we describe a previously healthy 3-year-old boy with chronic
dacryocystitis. Deep biopsy from lesion showed chronic granulomatous
inflammation with few branching mycelium in microscopic examination and
Aspergillus flavus growth from its culture. In the neutropenic or otherwise
immunocompromised patients, a high index of suspicion must be maintained to
prevent rapidly progressive infection with Aspergillus. We could not find
any predisposing factors in our patient.
