case_images: (A) Chest radiograph showing rounded focal consolidations with hypertransparent centers in both lungs. Chest computed tomography images with axial (B) and coronal reconstruction with minimum intensity projection (C), demonstrating multiple reversed halo signs in both lungs, with low-attenuation areas inside the halos and thick outer rims of consolidation. (D) Grocott's special stain identifying the presence of fungal hyphae, confirming the diagnosis of mucormycosis (x100).

case_images: Chest radiography performed on admission showed nonhomogeneous consolidations in both lungs (Figure 1A). Chest computed tomography revealed multiple reversed halo signs (RHSs) in both lungs, with low attenuation areas inside the halos and thick outer rims of consolidation (Figure 1B, C ). A pulmonary biopsy revealed yeast and hyphae suggestive of mucormycosis (Figure 1D).
