Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals. Renal mucormycosis (RM) is uncommon manifestation of the disease. Diagnosis can be challenging to many physicians. We report a rare case of primary, unilateral RM which triggered diabetic ketoacidosis in a type II diabetic patient. The case was later complicated with a bronchopleural fistula and a meropenem-resistant klebsiella infection. The patient was ultimately treated with surgical intervention, amphotericin B liposomal, and polymyxine E. Early diagnosis and timely treatment of this life-threatening disease and its complications is significant in reducing mortality rate.Keywords: mucormycosis, zygomycosis, renal mucormycosis, diabetic ketoacidosis, bronchopleural fistula. Abbreviations: RM = renal mucormycosis; WBC = white blood cells; DK = diabetic ketoacidosis; DM-II = Diabetes Mellitus Type II; MSCT = multi-slice computed tomography; HE = histopathological examination
