Pulmonary zygomycosis.

Abstract
An immunosuppressed patient had zygomycosis and was successfully treated with amphotericin B. Infection was rapidly diagnosed by demonstration of hyphae in impression smears of lung tissue and was confirmed by subsequent culture. Rapid diagnosis and prompt therapy are believed to have contributed to the successful outcome.
