Chest contrast-enhanced CT (on admission) showed high-density shadow on left lower
lobe, obvious enhancement and mediastinal lymph node enlargement with necrosis.

Chest contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans revealed high-density shadow on left lower lobe, obvious enhancement and mediastinal lymph node enlargement with necrosis (Figure 1).
(a, b) Cranial CT and (c) cranial MRI (on admission) absorption damage associated with
soft tissue shadows on the right side of the frontal bone.

Cranial CT (Figure 2(a) and (b)) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Figure 2(c)) showed bone destruction of the right frontal bone with local soft tissue shadow penetrating the damaged area. The main manifestations of bone damage are osteolytic destruction and bone loss (Figure 2).
New masses appeared on his left chest wall and right neck.

At the same time, new subcutaneous mass was found in the right neck and left chest wall (Figure 3).

On the 16th day of admission, when the patient's frontal mass was found to have a sense of fluctuation, we took about 3 mL of pus (Figure 4) to the laboratory for smear and culture.
(a) Fungal culture of pus yielded mycelia at 25 C with production of red pigment; (b)
yeast phase at 37 C with decreased production of red pigment; and (c) sausage and broom
dendrites were observed after Gram staining at 25 C under the microscope (400x).

Figure 5(a) shows fungal culture of pus yielded mycelia at 25 C with production of red pigment; Figure 5(b) shows yeast phase at 37 C with decreased production of red pigment; and Figure 5(c) shows sausage and broom dendrites were observed after Gram staining at 25 C under the microscope (400x).
