RESUMO
Mucormycosis is a rare but emerging fungal infection complicating solid organ transplantation(SOT), with a cumulative incidence of around 2% during the first year after SOT.The associated mortality rate is high, and surgical debridement is frequently required aspart of the treatment along with antifungal therapy based mostly on amphotericin Bformulations, We describe here an unusual case of hepatic mucormycosis in a livertransplant recipient that was successfully treated with clinical therapy based on liposomalamphotericin B followed by posaconazole, without surgical resection.
