description A 68-year-old female patient who was treated with anti-viral, steroids and biologics for coronavirus disease- 19 (COVID- 19) infection presented to our facility following right abdominal and flank pain since a week. Initially attributed to pancreatitis and right sided pyelonephritis, it was diagnosed as mucormycosis on KOH mount following CT-guided renal biopsy. She underwent right total nephrectomy and Whipple's surgery followed by Isavuconazole and liposomal Amphotericin B. This is a rare presentation of renal and gastrointestinal mucormycosis in a patient without diabetes mellitus following COVID- 19 infection. High suspicion and early diagnosis help in timely treatment of this life-threatening infection.
