Post-SARS CoV-2 infection laryngeal mucormycosis: a rare ail mimicking malignancy

Laryngeal mucormycosis is an uncommon form of fungal laryngitis that typically affects immunocompromised individuals. We report a rare such case in a male in his 40s who had recently recovered from severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus disease-19 (SARS CoV-2 infection-COVID 19) and presented with a 1-month history of worsening hoarseness, haemoptysis, and noisy breathing. A chewing gum-like subglottic necrotic mass was biopsied. The rarity of the diagnosis was aided by histopathological and microbial study of the mass, which confirmed mucormycosis. Management included surgical debulking, intravenous liposomal amphotericin B and oral posaconazole followed by staged management of subglottic stenosis.
