Invasive aspergillosis is a mycelial infection, associated in 15 to 30% of cases with a malignant hemopathy or with other types of cancers. It also constitutes a complication induced by high dosage corticotherapy or long term antibiotherapy. On the occasion of an autopsy of invasive aspergillosis, we review the anatomo-clinical entities associated with aspergillus, the etiopathogenic factors and the diagnostic difficulties.
