Aspergillosis of the breast is very uncommon and associated with various immunosuppressed states. Spectrum of disease extends from cutaneous to disseminated invasive aspergillosis. Only 13 cases of aspergillosis breast have been reported so far with seven of them associated with immunocompromised states. Our case brings out the rare association of aspergillosis of the breast with thymoma and myasthenia gravis (MG) managed successfully and has not been reported in world literature so far.
