Abstract

Pulmonary zygomycosis is an uncommon opportunistic fungal infection. Diabetics have a tendency to develop major airway lesions. This can lead to invasion of the airway wall and hilar vessels with infarction and severe haemoptysis. Aggressive early surgery appears to offer the best chance of recovery.
