In susceptible patients, mucormycosis can infect any tissue or organ, and without suitable treatment (i.e., debridement and antifungal therapy), this infection can be fatal. Our patient was a woman with lymphoma and cerebral mucormycosis who was treated with antifungals and without any neurosurgical debridement. Case Presentation: Herein, we present the case of a 35-year-old woman with diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma and rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM). She was a candidate for enucleation of the left eye, orbital decompression, and sinocerebral debridement. Nevertheless, the patient refused eye enucleation and craniotomy. Finally, she was treated with a combination of antifungals and sinus debridement without eye enucleation and craniotomy. Conclusion: Endoscopic debridement, along with a combination of liposomal amphotericin B (LAMB) and posaconazole, may be a suitable therapeutic option for patients with ROCM, who are not eligible candidates for extensive surgery or craniotomy. }, URL = {http://caspjim.com/article-1-1752-en.html}, eprint = {http://caspjim.com/article-1-1752-en.pdf}, journal = {Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine}, doi = {10.22088/cjim.11.2.227}, year = {2020} }
