Isolated primary cutaneous aspergillosis of the labia.
Isolated cutaneous aspergillosis is a rare complication of severe immunocompromised states. We describe a case of isolated cutaneous aspergillosis of the labia minora in an adolescent undergoing treatment for relapsed acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. The patient was successfully treated with a regimen that consisted of amphotericin B, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, and surgical debridement.
