We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by Aspergillus nidulans (SCAN). A. nidulans is a saprophytic fungus and emerging pathogen responsible for a variety of infections, although it is rarely implicated in osteoarticular infections. The patient was a 59-year-old immunocompromised patient with a history of lymphoma and splenectomy. Following diagnosis, the patient was promptly and effectively treated with voriconazole. A literature review underlines the distinctive features of the few case reports of SCAN, as well as the original features of the present case report.
