case_images: CT scan of the chest. Multifocal dense lung consolidations, most prominent in the left lower lobe, tree in bud opacities, and centrilobular nodules in the right lung; serum and left lower lobe: BAL galactomannan (GM) positive; right lower lobe: GM negative.

case_images: Serum galactomannan was positive x2 (Figure 1).
case_images: Postmortem autopsy findings revealed significantly congested lungs with infarction and necrosis. Histopathological hematoxylin-eosin stain showed abundant angioinvasive, aseptate hyphae, consistent with mucorales, in the left lower lung (LLL).

case_images: Autopsy showed disseminated mucormycosis (Figures 2-4).
case_images: Gomori methenamine stain (GMS) showed abundant aseptate hyphae in the affected organs. The hyphal morphology (wide-angled, aseptate) was diagnostic of mucormycosis.
