  • Title: Mucormycosis of the central airways: CT findings in three patients.
    Author: Kim KH, Choi YW, Jeon SC, Shin DH, Jung JI, Seo HS, Hahm CK.
    Journal: J Thorac Imaging; 1999 Jul; 14(3):210-4. PubMed ID: 10404508.
    Abstract:
    Computed tomographic (CT) findings are described in three diabetic patients with central airways mucormycosis. The CT findings of the tracheobronchial mucormycosis include enhancing areas of mural thickening (n = 3), luminal narrowing (n = 3), intramural air (n = 3), low-attenuation nonenhancing bronchial wall thickening (n = 2), and bronchonodal fistula formation (n = 1). These CT features in a diabetic patient should raise a high index of suspicion for tracheobronchial mucormycosis, particularly when typical radiographic features of pulmonary tuberculosis are absent.
