| description | Aspergillosis is a rare, invasive, rapidly progressive, and life-threatening fungal disease of the maxillofacial region and what makes the disease sinister is its indolent course and ability to cause death (16%). Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for such infections.

Treatment was based on the comorbidities and the clinical, radiological, and histological features of the lesion. |
