Abstract
A number of fungal infections can occur, particularly in patients who are immunosuppressed. Theoretically, any fungal infection can involve lymph nodes. In many ways, the pathologic findings in fungal lymphadenitis are similar. In this chapter, we review three specific types of fungal infections that are representative examples of fungal lymphadenitis.
