The Candida albicans infection represents a rather frequent complication in immunodeficient patients, while the evolution towards the growth of multiple intraparenchymal abscesses constitutes a very rare event. The authors describe the diagnostic-therapeutic pathway chosen in a case regarding a young patient in treatment for leukemia , who was affected by multiple splenic and renal abscesses caused by Candida albicans. After a preoperative diagnosis through ultrasonography and C.A.T., a splenectomy was undertaken. Next the only healthy part of the spleen was removed and grafted into the omentum. By using the intraoperative ultrasonography on both kidneys, the abscess cavities were precisely located, aspirated and finally stuck with a human fibrin glue.
