Abstract

Cavitary lung lesions have a specific array of differential diagnosis. Among rare causes is mucormycosis that should not be overlooked. A high index of suspicion is necessary for a correct diagnosis and aggressive management. It usually occurs in immunosupressed patients. It is a life-threatening, rapidly progressive, and angioinvasive fungal infection. We present a case of pulmonary mucormycosis presenting as a cavity in an immunocompetent middle aged male.

摘要

肺空洞性病变有一系列特定的鉴别诊断。在罕见病因中，毛霉菌病不应被忽视。正确诊断和积极治疗需要高度的怀疑指数。它通常发生在免疫抑制患者中。这是一种危及生命、进展迅速且侵犯血管的真菌感染。我们报告一例在免疫功能正常的中年男性中表现为空洞的肺毛霉菌病病例。
