case_images: The embolectomy specimen was examined histologically, showing organizing blood clot with abundant fungal organisms arranged in parallel arrays (Fig. 4).
case_images: High-power view of embolectomy specimen, demonstrating abundant fungal organisms with wide hyphae and absence of distinctive septa, arranged in a ribbon-like configuration. The morphologic features are interpreted as consistent with Mucorales (H&E stain, 400x original magnification).
