ABSTRACT
Pumonary mucormycosis is an uncommon but a fatal, opportunistic fungal infection that occurs primarily in patients who are immunocompromised such as hematologic malignancies, renal failure, or diabetes mellitus. The patient was a 32 year-old male with a 3-year history of diabetes(type I) and hyperthyroidism, and has been suffering from coughing, fever and left-sided chest pain for 1 month. The patient was diagnosed by the bronchoscopic examination with transbronchial lung biopsy and underwent a left lower lobectomy. On 21th postoperative day, multiple loculated pleural effusion was detected by follow-up chest X-ray and thus, drained using thoracoscopy. On 23rd day after the thoracoscopic drainage, the patient was discharged without postoperative complication. Previous reports have suggested that aggressvie and early surgical intervention may further enhance survival in operative candidates with mucormycosis confined to one lung.
