Abstract
We report the clinical and pathological findings of an unusual invasive fungal infection in a 13-year-old girl with T-NHL. The diagnosis of disseminated Zygomycosis was made four days after onset of clinical symptoms. Risk factors for Zygomycosis were prolonged neutropenia, corticosteroids, and steroid induced diabetes mellitus.
