International audience. Mini-Abstract A 56-year-old patient with a history of bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic interstitial pneumonia not responding to corticosteroids therapy had a good initial postoperative outcome. One month later, subcutaneous nodules appeared and histopathology revealed septate hyphae in the nodules and Aspergillus fumigatus in bronchial lavage. FDG PET / CT and CMR revealed multiple left and right ventricles abscesses consistent with cardiac aspergillosis. The combination of FDG PET / CT and CMR was useful to detect the cardiac localization of systemic aspergillosis, to define the precise morphological details of myocardial lesions and to evaluate the response to treatment.
