A 2-year-old female ostrich had become gradually emaciated over a 4-month period and subsequently died. Gross necropsy revealed a granulomatous mass filling the right nasal passageways.

This appears to be the first report of a mycotic granuloma limited to the nasal cavities of an ostrich or any other ratite species
