Emericella nidulans in a maxillary sinus fungal mass

J Med Vet Mycol. 1987 Oct;25(5):339-41.

Abstract

Sexual reproductive stages of fungi are very rarely found within mammalian tissues. We report here coexistence of cleistothecia associated with Emericella nidulans and its conidial state, Aspergillus nidulans, in a fungal mass which developed in a maxillary sinus.
