An immunocompromised woman developed progressively respiratory symptoms followed by signs of embolism in the pulmonary artery and great vessels. MRI of the chest was able to demonstrate the lung cavitation, as well as demonstrating vascular invasion, suggesting a diagnosis of mucormycosis, an opportunistic fungal infection.
