Abstract
Pulmonary mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic fungal infection associated with diabetis mellitus, leukemia, lymphoma & other debilitating diseases. Their clinical presentations depend on the associated underlying disorders. Generally patients with leukemia and lymphoma often have rapidly progressive clinical course, and may cause diffuse parenchymal disease refractory to medical and surgical therapies. However, some diabetics with pulmonary mucormycosis have a striking tendency to develop a localized endobronchial disease in major airway which is amenable to therapy with surgery and Amphotericin B. We have experienced a case of endobronchial mucormycosis complicating lung abscess associated with diabetic ketoacidosis, which was cured without specific antifungal therapy or surgery. A brief review of the literature was given.
