ABSTRACT

Renal Mucormycosis is a lethal opportunistic infection with extensive tissue invasion leading to infarction. We report a diabetic lady with disseminated fungal pyelonephritis presenting with extensive lytic bony lesions mimicking malignancy. Prompt initiation of antifungal therapy and surgical debridement is the key to successful management. A clinician should have a high index of suspicion for Mucormycosis in a patient with non-resolving pyelonephritis and prolonged fever.
