  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rare but life-threatening fungal infection. We report a post-haematopoietic stem cell transplant patient with pulmonary mucormycosis that extended to the diaphragm and subphrenic space. He underwent lung and diaphragm resection, debridement of liver capsule and diaphragm reconstruction using a pedicled latissimus dorsi flap. Following surgery, the patient remained well and has resumed his regular daily activities.</jats:p>
