Resumen:We report a case of an Aspergillus fungal ball in a transplant graft kidney presenting as obstructive nephropathy. This is a rare manifestation considering the usual presentations of Aspergillus infection, which are pulmonary, rhino-cerebral, and disseminated forms. Imaging showed hydronephrosis with an echogenic material in the transplant renal pelvis, which was further found to be the fungal ball. The patient underwent a graft nephrectomy due to severe sepsis, and following that, his condition improved.
