Adelito M. Gale M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and William P. Kleitsch M.D., F.C.C.P.2

The case of an asymptomatic, solitary nodule appearing in the lung of a diabetic hospitalized for arteriosclerosis obliterans is presented. The nodule was found to be due to Phycomycoses of the Mucoraceae strain and is the fourth case reported of pulmonary disease due to this organism to recover after treatment. It is the only instance known of this disease appearing as a solitary nodule and emphasizes the fact that the possible etiology of such nodules is endless, and cytologic and bacteriologic identification of them remains important.
