Angioinvasive pulmonary mucormycosis presenting as multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules in a patient without obvious predisposing factors.

摘要: Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rare, frequently fatal, fungal infection. It usually seen in the presence of various immunocompromised states, such as diabetes mellitus, haematological malignancy or renal transplantation. In absence underlying predisposing conditions, presentation with infiltrates, consolidation, cavitation and mass lesion have been reported. We describe 50-year-old man who presented cough chest pain for six months. Chest radiograph computed tomography showed bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules. Surgical lung biopsy revealed angioinvasive mucormycosis. He had complete recovery amphotericin therapy.
