A rare case of pulmonary mucormycosis and broncho-esophageal fistula in a patient with poorly controlled diabetes.

Key Clinical Message: In patients with poorly controlled diabetes, early recognition of rare fungal infections like pulmonary mucormycosis, especially when presenting with unusual complications such as broncho-esophageal fistula, is critical. Prompt intervention with antifungal therapy and consideration for surgical debridement significantly impact outcomes. Multidisciplinary management is paramount for such complex cases.
