RESUMO

The mold Aureobasidium pullulans was isolated on several nutrient media from a splenic abscess in a patient with disseminated lymphoma. Examination of stained smears and paraffin sections revealed fungal structures characteristic of this organism. This is the first reported association of A. pullulans with an opportunistic visceral infection.
