RESUMEN

La mucormicosis es una infección causada por hongos de la clase Zygomycetes. Existen varias formas de presentación clínica, siendo las más comunes la rinocerebral y la pulmonar. La mucormicosis renal aislada es un tipo de mucormicosis muy poco frecuente hasta el momento; se han reportado 25 casos en la literatura. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con leucemia aguda que desarrolló mucormicosis renal aislada, y se revisa la literatura.
