Disseminated Mucormycosis with Extensive Cardiac Involvement.

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection. Cardiac involvement is a rare, yet fatal, complication that can occur in disseminated disease. A strong index of suspicion is necessary for prompt treatment, especially in high-risk patients. We present a 62-year-old male patient with a history of diabetes and acute myeloid leukemia; he had pulmonary mucormycosis that was complicated by cardiac involvement as part of disseminated mucormycosis syndrome.
