AbstractLung mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been described mainly in oncologic and diabetic patients. We here report the case of an endobronchial lesion caused by this fungus in an immunocompetent person. Prompt diagnosis, and therapy with Amphotericin B and surgery, permitted the complete resolution.
