Abstract
- Prepatellar bursitis usually arise from repetitive stimulation, trauma, inflammatory disease, infection and so on. Although prepatellar bursitis is common, there has been no reported case that caused by Aspergillosis. A chronic prepatellar bursitis case was referred to us after management with conventional methods for a long time. We managed this case with surgical excision and biopsy revealed that the bursitis was caused by Aspergillosis. It is thought that when a prepatellar bursitis does not respond to treatments, fungal infection such as Aspergillosis should be suspected.
