Scedosporium prolificans is an emerging fungus that causes rapid progressive and disseminated infections in immunodepressed patients. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman with chronic myelogenous leukemia who received a bone marrow transplantation and suffered a sudden respiratory failure in +67 day. Chest radiographies showed growing bilateral patchy condensations. Computed Tomography depicted bilateral nodular condensation of alveolar space. S. prolificans was detected from sputum, but the patient died 72 h later. Imaging findings of lung scedosporiosis are nonspecific, but CT may provide a prompter diagnosis and allow to add newer antifungal treatments. This report presents the first imaging report of lung scedosporiosis.

Duodenal duplication cyst is an extremely rare congenital anomaly usually diagnosed in childhood. However, it may remain asymptomatic for a long period. In adults it usually manifests with symptoms related to complications as pancreatitis, jaundice, or intussusception. We present the radiology findings of a patient with a duodenal intussusception secondary to a duplication cyst. The usefulness of the magnetic resonance (MR) in this case is highlighted.
