title: When you can't see the wood for the trees. Mucor circinelloides: A rare case of primary cutaneous zygomycosis.
abstract: A patient with refractory diffuse lymphoma treated for pulmonary invasive aspergillosis developed a concomitant primary cutaneous mucormycosis. The mucormycete was identified by sequencing as Mucor circinelloides. This case confirms the importance of a rapid pathogen diagnosis in immunocompromised patients and the usefulness of molecular methods for identification of rare fungal species.
