    Abstract:
    A 37-year-old patient with cystic fibrosis underwent double lung transplantation. She developed disseminated Scedosporium apiospermum infection 2 months after surgery. Along with multiple brain abscesses, lung infection, and chorioretinitis, a cardiac echo revealed 2 large intra-atrial mycetomas floating close to the right upper pulmonary vein orifice. The mycetomas were removed through a trans-atrial approach under cardiopulmonary by pass; histology and cultures confirmed the diagnosis. Despite intensive treatment, the patient succumbed from massive brain hemorrhage on the 10th postoperative day.
