Mucormycosis is a rare but fatal disease and usually affects the rhinocerebrum, lungs, traumatic wounds or surgical sites. Vertebral osteomyelitis due to mucormycosis is very rare, with only three cases caused by mucormycosis since 1970 being reported, and none in Korea. Here, we present a case of vertebral osteomyelitis caused by mucormycosis in a 67-year-old woman, having type 2 diabetes mellitus for 10 years, who was in complete remission from acute leukemia after chemotherapy 3 years previously.
