description BACKGROUND: Mucormycosis is a highly infectious deadly disease if left untreated. This disease is usually seen more in people having immunocompromised conditions like diabetes mellitus, steroid use, and neutropenia. Its presence along with Aspergillus is quite uncommon in the pediatric age group. This report will add information regarding such coexisting fungal disease in the pediatric age group and its further management. CASE REPORT: In this study, investigators are presenting a case of mucormycosis coexisting with aspergillosis in 3-month-old male child who presented with a palatal defect. He underwent both medical management with liposomal amphotericin B and surgical debridement for necrotic foci removal. CONCLUSION: This case report deals with the management of coexisting mucormycosis with aspergillosis using a combination of surgical and medical management.
