Mycopathological report is presented on a case of carditis in disseminated mucormycosis, the 25th such case according to literature and a second one where Absidia corymbifera was proved by cultivation. A 47-year-old man suffering from chronic myeloic leukaemia, developed bone marrow atrophy after cytostatic treatment, and died from a serious muoormycotic pneumonia; dissemination of mycosis was found in the heart and kidneys. Myocardial lesion prevailed in pancarditis, and mural endocarditis was quite unique.
