The presence of polymicrobial infection in a renal transplant recipient is documented in the literature, but has rarely been diagnosed on cytology.

Computed tomography\u2010guided FNAC performed on the lung lesion showed fungal profiles with septate hyphae and acute\u2010angled branching consistent with morphology of Aspergillus.
