Abstract
We present a case of Scedosporium apiospermum otomycosis in an immunocompetent 62-year-old woman presumably inoculated as a child in Vietnam. She had life-long recurrent symptoms of chronic otomastoiditis and otorrhea. The organism was identified in an unexpected wound infection after a modified radical mastoidectomy done for chronic otitis media. Treatment consisted of local debridement of necrotic tissue, topical wound care, and long-term systemic antifungals.
