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