| Summary: | Mucormycosis encompasses a range of fungal infections that can impact various organs. Although
pulmonary mucormycosis is relatively rare, it poses a significant threat, particularly to
individuals with compromised immune systems. Pulmonary mucormycosis presents with various
radiological manifestations. Notably, the involvement of the angioinvasive pulmonary artery
in pulmonary mucormycosis cases has seldom been documented. In this report, we
showcase the radiological characteristics of angioinvasive mucormycosis, which can mimic
pulmonary thromboembolism or a pulmonary artery tumor, in a patient diagnosed with myelodysplastic
syndrome. |
