TY - JOUR AU - Czapka, Michael AU - Santos, Carlos AU - Proia, Laurie PY - 2019 DA - 2019/01/31 TI - Isolated Hepatic Mucormycosis in the Early Post-Transplant Period: A Case Report and Literature Review JO - OBM Transplantation SP - 045 VL - 03 IS - 01 AB - Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection associated with high morbidity and mortality that typically afflicts immunocompromised hosts. We present a case of isolated hepatic mucormycosis that developed in the early post-transplant period. Initial presentation was concerning for allograft rejection, but definitive diagnosis was made with histopathology and fungal culture. The patient had a favorable outcome with surgical resection, a course of liposomal amphotericin B combined with micafungin, and chronic suppressive therapy with posaconazole. We encountered only four cases of isolated hepatic mucormycosis in solid organ transplant recipients in the literature that presented as either fungal abscess or surgical anastomosis rupture. This case report and literature review demonstrates the need for urgent diagnosis and management of this uncommon condition and outlines an effective therapeutic regimen.
