    Abstract:
    A 52-year-old male diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) developed an invasive middle-ear mucormycosis during the neutropenic period after consolidation chemotherapy which resolved successfully with surgery and antifungal therapy. The patient underwent autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) in first complete remission with antifungal prophylaxis with liposomal amphotericin B (AmB). There was no clinical, radiological or microbiological data of mycotic reactivation. This is the first reported stem cell transplantation (SCT) in a patient with prior invasive mucormycosis.
