| description | Fungus formation in the urinary tract mainly occurs in immunosuppressed patients, and is a rare and dangerous complication of candiduria that is commonly misdiagnosed. We report a case of intravesical mycetoma associated with hydronephrosis, initially diagnosed as enterovesical fistula. Cystoscopy revealed spongy material within the urinary bladder, and histopathological examination showed Mycetoma of Candida species. The urine culture showed Candida tropicalis. Endoscopic removal and antifungal therapy with fluconazole was initiated, and no complications occurred during follow-up. |
