    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Zygomycosis, a rare fungal infection, typically affects immunocompromised individuals.
    • Pulmonary zygomycosis can present with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • Mediastinal involvement in zygomycosis is exceptionally uncommon.

    Observation:

    • A pediatric case of pulmonary zygomycosis with significant mediastinal extension was documented.
    • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction.
    • The fungal infection infiltrated the mediastinal space, leading to compression of the SVC.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed zygomycosis as the causative agent.
    • The mediastinal mass, resulting from zygomycosis, was identified as the cause of SVC obstruction.

  • This case underscores the potential for zygomycosis to manifest in the mediastinum.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of zygomycosis presentations.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for managing rare zygomycosis complications like SVC obstruction.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of mediastinal zygomycosis is warranted.
