Sternal Osteomyelitis from Aspergillus fumigatus in immunocompetent patients is extremely rare with limited number of cases reported so far. Here we discuss the case of a 65-year-old female with osteomyelitis of the sternum caused by Aspergillus fumigatus after undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Patient was treated with surgical debridement and prolonged antifungal therapy; however, the course was complicated due to poor adherence to antifungal therapy.
