2 Fig. 1 Pulmonary mucormycosis occurred in a 32-year-old patient after induction chemotherapy for acute myeloblastic leukaemia. Enhanced CT scan showed involvement of divided branches of right pulmonary artery by the fungal process. In August 2012, a right upper lobectomy was performed in emergency to prevent the risk of arterial perforation and haemoptysis. Three years later patient is alive and well.

4 Fig. 3 Median overall survival in patients on first-line haematological treatment was better than that in patients in subsequent line or with progressive haematological disease (45 months versus 5 months, respectively) (p <0.001).
