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.
