title: Primary aspergillosis of the cheek. A diagnostic dilemma.
abstract: Primary cutaneous and subcutaneous aspergillosis is a rare entity and usually occurs secondary to systemic or disseminated aspergillosis. We describe a unique case of primary aspergillosis of the cheek in a 45-year-old male without any evidence of disseminated aspergillosis and recognizable trauma or surgical procedure in the area of cheek.
