| description | Invasive aspergillosis is a known complication in patients with hematologic malignancies. Tracheopleural fistulas are very rare and reported in immunocompromised adults. We present a case of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with tracheopleural fistula in a pediatric patient with a history of rhabdomyosarcoma and macrophage activation syndrome. This case highlights the importance of recognizing life-threatening fungal infections and coordinating surgical subspecialities for patient care. |
