  • Title: Pulmonary mucormycosis mimicking an endobronchial mass.
    Author: Sayan M, Arpag H, Tokur M, Bahar AY.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2018 Mar; 26(3):242-244. PubMed ID: 29448830.
    Abstract:
    Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that can infect different regions of the body. This entity may present in rhinocerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, and disseminated forms. Although pulmonary mucormycosis is usually seen as an invasive parenchymal consolidation or cavitation, it may rarely present as an endobronchial mass. We describe a case of endobronchial mucormycosis in which the fungal mass was completely removed via rigid bronchoscopy before medical therapy.
