Primary mediastinal mucormycosis presenting with hoarseness: a case report

Key Points

Hoarseness may indicate underlying mediastinal mucormycosis, necessitating prompt evaluation.
Timely antifungal treatment following diagnosis can significantly improve prognosis.
Tissue biopsy serves as a critical method for confirming the diagnosis of mucormycosis.
Chronic illnesses increase susceptibility to atypical presentations of infections like mucormycosis.

Abstract

Mediastinal mucormycosis, though rare, should be considered in patients with atypical presentations including hoarseness, particularly those with chronic illnesses. Early diagnosis through tissue biopsy and timely antifungal treatment is essential for better prognosis.
