AB A 69-year-old man was admitted with recurrent fungal bloodstream infection on a background of abdominal aneurysm, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Investigations revealed a para-aortic mass, previously thought to be lymphoma, which was culture positive for Candida glabrata on biopsy. Diagnosis and management involved multidisciplinary teamwork, diagnostic uncertainty and significant risk taking.
