Well done all of you. It is indeed angio-invasive mucormycosis with the hyphae cut transversly. Mind you one can really only make the diagnosis with culture and clinicopathological correlation.

Just had to comment on what a stunning image this is. I thought of mucor too but I have learn't that I am usually wrong and there seem to be too many species of fungus to remember anyway! That is what microbiologists are for after all!

Agree with angioinvasive fungus. Could be mucormycosis (thick walled, non septate).
