Imaging findings
Rapidly evolving large peripheral area of infarction with a 'bird's nest' appearance, evolving to a rim of hemorrhagic infarction and multiple other lesions, particularly in a neutropenic patient.
Key takeaways
Invasive pulmonary mucormycosis in neutropenic patients can show rapid evolution from ground glass opacities to large, peripheral infarctions with a 'bird's nest' appearance and hemorrhagic rims. Its rapid progression necessitates aggressive antifungal treatment and potentially surgical resection.
