Figure 1 Adrenal mucormycosis, grocott methenamine sliver stain, × 100.

Figure 2 Imaging changes. A: Arrow shows computed tomography (CT) features of adrenal mucormycosis; B: CT features of hepatic lesion. A well circumscribed hypodense lesion in hilar and left lateral lobe, surrounding the vessels without a mass effect, should suggest an angioinvasive organism. This lesion presents necrosis of liver tissue due to fungal thrombosis; C: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography demonstrates an abrupt stenosis of the primary biliary confluence with symmetric upstream dilation of the intrahepatic bile ducts.

Figure 3 Cut surface of the liver mass, a yellowish-white tissue. Vessels are present in mass. Arrow shows intrahepatic bile ducts dilatation, thickening and cholestasis.

Figure 4 Pathological changes of liver tissue. Inflammatory focus containing irregularly shaped, broad, nonseptate hyphae with right angle branching typical of mucormycosis. A: Hematoxylin and eosin stain, × 40; B: Grocott methenamine sliver stain, × 100.
