Abstract: Pulmonary mucormycosis is a relatively rare but often fatal opportunistic fungal infection\nthat occurs mostly in immunocompromised patients. Endobronchial mucormycosis, a distinct\nclinical form of pulmonary mucormycosis, is very rare, and only a few cases have been reported.\nThe most common bronchoscopic findings in patients with endobronchial mucormycosis are stenosis,\nerythematous mucosa and airway obstruction. Here, we present a case of fatal endobronchial\nmucormycosis mimicking actively caseating endobronchial tuberculosis in a young diabetic patient\nliving in a country with an intermediate tuberculosis burden.
