Cerebral aspergilloma of initial sinus origin developed in a patient with mixed cell leukemia. Computed tomography imaging showed signs of a cystic multitumoral syndrome with a crown-shaped filling image without peritumoral edema. Follow up of cerebral lesions during medical treatment was by repeated CT scans, with progressive regression of images over a period of 8 months. The patient died after recurrence. Aspergilloma is seen mainly in patients with alternating immunity defenses.
