Abstract
Although cases of pulmonary mucor are scarce, diabetics account for a large percentage of these patients. The synergism of diabetes mellitus and mucormycosis poses potentially devastating bronchopulmonary complications, warranting urgent intervention. This report reviews the efficient workup, along with successful medical and surgical management, of a patient with pulmonary mucormycosis, with evidence of superior vena cava invasion.
