| Abstract: | A 67-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia was admitted with headaches and ring-enhancing lesions on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. His current regimen included rituximab and ibrutinib with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for secondary Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia prevention. All other elements of his history were noncontributory. The diagnosis of an invasive fungal infection was made via light microscopy of a stereotactic brain biopsy specimen. © 2021 Elsevier Inc. |
