Cryotherapy in the Diagnosis of Endobronchial Mucormycosis

Endobronchial mucormycosis: A rare clinical entity diagnosed by endobronchial cryobiopsy

“…Fatal hemorrhage has been described in patients with endobronchial mucormycosis after a standard endobronchial forceps biopsy [ 10 ]. Therefore, the use of cryotherapy to obtain adequate size biopsy specimens while minimizing the risk of bleeding should be considered whenever possible [ 11 ]. In addition, endobronchial mucormycosis may be successfully treated with cryoablation [ 12 ].…”
