Chest computed tomography showed mediastinal and bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy with bilateral pulmonary inflammatory lesion with few ground-glass opacities and fibrosis in both lower lobes (Fig. 1a). The bone marrow study showed the presence of aseptate hyphae (Fig. 1b), although the bone marrow culture study didn't show any organism growth. Microscopic examination from culture growth of fungus in SDA agar with lactophenol cotton blue stain showed aseptate irregular hyphae where globose-shaped sporangia were filled with round spores (Fig. 1c).
