Phycomycosis as postoperative complication of urologic surgery.
A case of phycomycosis (Mucor) complicating urologic surgery is presented. It is a rare disease that is rapidly fatal, though caused by a usually benign saphophytic fungus. No previous urologic surgical cases have been found in the literature where Mucor has been a postoperative complication.
