Mucormycosis is an infection caused by a class Zygomycetes fungi. The rhinocerebral and pulmonary are the most common clinical presentations. Renal mucormycosis is a very rare form. To date, only 25 cases have been reported in the literature. We describe the case of a patient with leukemia who developed isolated renal mucormycosis and review the literature.
