diagnosis of subcutaneous mucormycosis with fine needle aspiration:a rare case report

چکیده
mucormycosis is a fatal and life threatening infection particularly in immunocompromised patients, so early diagnosis and rapid treatment is life saving. a 52-year-old female, known case of diabetes mellitus, presented with chills, fever, fatigue and anorexia. a subcutaneous mass was detected around the umbilicus (4x4). fine needle aspiration of the mass showed mucor hyphea with little inflammation. the patient was treated with amphotericin b and her fever subsided. the patient was discharged in good health and general condition. fine needle aspiration can therefore be a rapid and accurate method for the diagnosis of subcutaneous mucormycosis.
