Introduction: Invasive fungal infections are a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with haematological malignancies.
Case Presentation: We describe an unusual clinical and radiological presentation of invasive mucormycosis (IM) in a 69-year-old patient with relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia. The patient was diagnosed with disseminated IM with involvement of the central nervous system in an atypical location, lung, spleen, muscle, bone, and heart, after having completed induction and bridging chemotherapy to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).

It is difficult to diagnose owing to non-specific clinical manifestations, the serologic index, imaging features, and the limitations of diagnostic methods. The incidence of invasive splenic mucormycosis is extremely rare, with only a few cases documented in the literature.
