title: Successful treatment of primary bilateral renal mucormycosis with bilateral nephrectomy.
abstract: Bilateral invasive renal mucormycosis has previously been associated with a 100% mortality rate. We report a case of bilateral invasive renal mucormycosis in a patient treated with amphotericin B and bilateral nephrectomy who survived and is currently disease-free.
