Intracranial aspergillosis is a rare pathologic condition, difficult to treat and often fatal, which generally affects immunodepressed patients. A case of brain abscess secondary to pulmonary localization in a patient with a non-Hodgkin lymphoma is described. The most significant clinico-pathological findings of intracranial aspergillosis are examined in the light of the relevant literature.
