RESUMEN
Pulmonary mucormycosis is rare in kidney transplant recipients and has a high mortality rate. We report a case of pulmonary mucormycosis presenting as round pneumonia 1 year and 1 month after the transplant. The diagnosis was confirmed by a percutaneous lung biopsy. A complete resection of the lung mass, followed by intravenous liposomal amphotericin B therapy, saved the life of the patient. In conclusion, early and prompt diagnosis followed by complete resection of the lesion in pulmonary mucormycosis is lifesaving.
