  • Title: An unusual case of Pneumocystis carinii presenting as an aural mass.
    Author: Patel SK, Philpott JM, McPartlin DW.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1999 Jun; 113(6):555-7. PubMed ID: 10605587.
    Abstract:
    Extrapulmonary involvement of organs with the protozoan Pneumocystis carinii is rare. We describe a case of Pneumocystis carinii presenting as an erosive aural mass in a young male patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. As far as the authors are aware such an example has never been described in a British journal and is the first case worldwide where otic pneumocystosis has extended into the middle cranial fossa. We also present a review of the literature on otological manifestations of Pneumocystis carinii.
