The existence of a combined benign schwannoma and lymphoma presenting as a nasal polyp has not been described in the English literature. We are reporting this rare combination in a 50-year-old male whose presenting symptoms were nasal obstruction, nasal deformity and headache. Examination of the left nasal cavity revealed a mass which was confined to the nose on computed tomography (CT) scan examination. Histopathology of the mass revealed a major component to be a benign schwannoma and a minor component a large B-cell lymphoma.

Introduction: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is typically associated with immunocompromised patients, but rare occurrences have been documented in immunocompetent individuals. This presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to atypical presentations and less apparent risk factors.
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old Cambodian American female with a history of stable pulmonary nodules and a left neck schwannoma presented with a two-week history of cough and hemoptysis.
