Popis: Zygomycosis is a rare complication in immunosuppressed patients and is caused predominantly by species of Rhizomucor , Absidia and Rhizopus . Lungs and central nervous system localization are the most commonly observed, while skin localization has been observed only in 15% of the patients. We describe a case of zygomycotic cellulitis, with severe edema, inflammatory lesions and a nonimmune bullous eruption, in a renal transplant recipient.
