  • Objective:

    To report an unusual case of fungal mastoiditis caused by entomophthorales in an immunocompetent patient, and its management.

    Method:

    Case report with a review of the literature.

    Case report:

    A 13-year-old girl presented to us with a mastoid abscess. Entomophthoromycotic infection of the mastoid was diagnosed on histopathological examination, and subsequently treated with surgical debridement and amphotericin B injection.

    Conclusion:

    This is the first reported case of mastoid abscess secondary to entomophthoromycosis. Early detection and treatment contributed to this patient's good outcome.
