Abstract
Scalp mucormycosis in children is extremely rare. We present a case of pediatric scalp
mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus oryzae in a 9-year-old diabetic girl who was successfully
diagnosed and treated with amphotericin B deoxycholate and wound debridement. At
3 months follow up, the patient was stable although she had lost her vision.
