Here, we report a case of 70-year-old male, smoker presenting with high-grade fever for 2 weeks and episodes of hemoptysis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) thorax revealed a solitary pulmonary nodule measuring 2.3 \u00d7 1.6 cm in the right upper lobe. CT guided fine needle aspiration cytology and true cut biopsy showed plenty of typical fungal hyphae consistent with the diagnosis of mucormycosis. Fungal culture confirmed the organism as mucor. Positron emission tomography-CT scan showed a non- 18 fluorodeoxy glucose avid nodule ruling out possibility of malignancy. Investigation did not reveal any evidence of immunosuppression. Patient was treated with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B for 4 weeks. Follow-up chest X-ray and CT scan after 6 weeks were normal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-2113.125991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,28]],"date-time":"2014-01-28T07:00:52Z","timestamp":1390892452000},"page":"70-72","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Solitary pulmonary nodule: A rare presentation of pulmonary mucormycosis in an immunocompetent adult"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Supriya","family":"Sarkar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debraj","family":"Jash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arnab","family":"Maji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Malay Kr","family":"Maikap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20251008","first-page":"330","article-title":"Observations on lungenmycose beinmeschen","volume":"66","author":"Furbinger","year":"1876","journal-title":"Arch Pathol Anat Physiol Klin Med"},{"key":"R2-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-2113.59595","article-title":"Pulmonary mucormycosis mimicking as pulmonary tuberculosis: A case report","volume":"25","author":"Garg","year":"2008","journal-title":"Lung India"},{"key":"R3-20251008","first-page":"107","article-title":"Pulmonary mucoraceous in fungal ball","volume":"43","author":"Lahiri","year":"2001","journal-title":"Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci"},{"key":"R4-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"236","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.13.2.236","article-title":"Zygomycetes in human disease","volume":"13","author":"Ribes","year":"2000","journal-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev"},{"key":"R5-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"667","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.10081907","article-title":"Case 160: Pulmonary mucormycosis","volume":"256","author":"Chung","year":"2010","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"R6-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1301","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.159.12.1301","article-title":"Pumonary mucormycosis: The last 30 years","volume":"159","author":"Lee","year":"1999","journal-title":"Arch Intern Med"},{"key":"R7-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"693","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0031-1295717","article-title":"Pulmonary mucormycosis","volume":"32","author":"Hamilos","year":"2011","journal-title":"Semin Respir Crit Care Med"},{"key":"R8-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"82","DOI":"10.1186\/1746-1596-8-82","article-title":"Pathophysiological implication of reversed CT halo sign in invasive pulmonary mucormycosis: A rare case report","volume":"8","author":"Okubo","year":"2013","journal-title":"Diagn Pathol"},{"key":"R9-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1351","DOI":"10.1080\/10428190310001653691","article-title":"Improved outcome of zygomycosis in patients with hematological diseases?","volume":"45","author":"Gleissner","year":"2004","journal-title":"Leuk Lymphoma"},{"key":"R10-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1743","DOI":"10.1086\/599105","article-title":"Recent advances in the management of mucormycosis: From bench to bedside","volume":"48","author":"Spellberg","year":"2009","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"}],"container-title":["Lung India"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/01408641-201431010-00017","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T19:39:46Z","timestamp":1786649986000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/01408641-201431010-00017"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,1]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/0970-2113.125991","relation":{},"ISSN":["0970-2113","0974-598X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0970-2113","type":"print"},{"value":"0974-598X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,1]]}}}
