Abstract:
Budd-Chiari syndrome is a very rare disease related to hepatic vein obstruction. Vascular invasion by fungus is seldom seen and reported. After thorough research of the literature only three cases have been reported. We reported a case of a diabetic patient who showed an acute and aggressive disease, characterized by sepsis, acute hepatic failure and death. Postmortem examination showed disseminated aspergillosis, massive hepatic necrosis, hepatic vein thrombosis and venous occlusion by the fungus.
