2 Figure 1 (A) Short-axis section of both ventricles with reddish nodules in the myocardium (arrows). (B) Low-power view of the histologic section of the upper ventricular septum with a nodular lesion (arrows) approximately 5 mm in diameter near the conduction system. (C and D) The nodular lesion in B contacted the proximal left bundle branch (arrowheads) and (D) demonstrated myocardial necrosis and neutrophil infiltration. (E) Grocott methenamine silver stain revealed hyphae of mucormycetes in the blood vessels (arrow) and heart muscles in the lesion. Scale bars: (B) 5 mm; (C) 500 μm; (D) 100 μm; (E) 50 μm. Stains: (B, C) azan stain; (D) hematoxylin-eosin stain; (E) Grocott methenamine silver stain.
