Abstract
Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection, characterized by high mortality and morbidity, which is caused by mukorales class of fungi. It tends to affect people with immune suppression and the palate is a rare site of disease. Treatment strategy should involve the control of underlying disease, application of amphotericin B and extensive surgical debridement. In this paper, we reported a 62 years-old female patient with acute myeloid leukemia and mucomycosis who developed palatin perforation early follow-up. Our patients have developed perforation of the palate despite liposomal amphotericin B therapy and debridement implementation. Although the mortality rate is high, a fungal infectious status of our patients continues to receive intensive chemotherapy regimens under antifungal therapy.
