COVID‐19‐associated facial cutaneous mucormycosis superinfection: A potentially life‐threatening disease

Abstract

Abstract A 49‐year‐old male was involved in an accident and an abdominal computer tomographic examination revealed papillary renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney. During hospitalization, the patient was infected with COVID‐19. In the following COVID‐19 treatment, a black dot developed on the right side of the head and face. Antifungal therapy and surgical debridement were initiated and gradual improvement was observed.
