The ultrasonic appearance of Candida infection in the livers of immunosuppressed patients is quite characteristic. Cystic, target‐like lesions were found in three patients receiving chemotherapy for myeloproliferative diseases. The computed tomographic appearance is less characteristic. A possible explanation for the appearance of these lesions is presented.
