The case of a solitary cerebellar abscess in a 36-year-old Rwandese male is described. First it was considered to be tuberculosis, but at microscopal examination of the lesion after neurosurgical excision the true germ was found: Blastomyces dermatitidis. This solitary intracerebellar blastomycosis abscess is only the fifth case reported worldwide and the first in African medical annals.
