Implication

Retrospective analysis identifies CT features to distinguish pulmonary mucormycosis from invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, suggesting a scoring system.

Key Points

CT findings reveal distinct features between pulmonary mucormycosis and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, aiding diagnosis.
Analysis shows that lesion size ≥ 4 cm, reverse halo sign, and airway invasion predict pulmonary mucormycosis with sensitivity of 70.6%.
Patients retrospectively reviewed included 60 with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and 34 with pulmonary mucormycosis between 2003 and 2024.
A clinical scoring system based on CT findings demonstrates potential for improving early differentiation prior to invasive procedures.
