	<abstract>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:times new roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#0000FF;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Background&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Mucormycosis&amp;nbsp;is an uncommon fungal infection caused by the members of the order Mucorales. In susceptible patients, mucormycosis can infect any tissue or organ, and wit&lt;/span&gt;hout 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.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#0000FF;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Case Presentation:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#0000FF;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</abstract>
