Background: Mucormycosis is often seen in immunosuppressed patients. Rarely, it involves the kidney alone.
Methods: In two patients, mucormycosis was found in renal allografts removed because of rejection.
Results: In both cases, transplant nephrectomy was curative.
Conclusion: Mucormycosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with renal allograft rejection so that prompt treatment can rescue the patient and the graft.
