A case of disseminated, granulomatose lung aspergillosis with a hematogenic solitary mycotic metastasis in the myocardium of a female chick was described. The causative agent was Aspergillus flavus Link as demonstrated by cultivation. The microscopic picture showed changes of various age, from pyogenic granulomas to those with tuberculoid structure. The affinity of A. flavus to lung vessels, both veins and arteries, is emphasized.
