Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that can affect a variety of organs, one of which being the respiratory system. The most common form of infection with mucormycetes is pulmonary mucormycosis, which has a poor prognosis if infected. The clinical signs and radiological findings of this infection are non-specific and very similar to lung tumours. Here, we describe a 62-year-old obese man with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus who was referred for a tumour-like mass in the left lung, which after bronchoscopy was diagnosed as mucormycosis.
毛霉菌病是一种可影响多种器官的真菌感染，其中之一是呼吸系统。感染毛霉菌的最常见形式是肺毛霉菌病，一旦感染，预后较差。这种感染的临床症状和影像学表现不具有特异性，与肺部肿瘤非常相似。在此，我们描述一名62岁的肥胖男性，患有未得到控制的糖尿病，因左肺出现肿瘤样肿块前来就诊，经支气管镜检查后被诊断为毛霉菌病。
