Resumo: Aspergillosis is an opportunistic fungal disease that manifests in immunocompromised individuals and has a high associated mortality. A 33-year-old male patient diagnosed with acute myelomonocytic leukemia during hospitalization started chemotherapy and at D20 of the patient cycle evolved with a black lesion in the hard palate, associated with facial edema, perforation in the palate and severe dental mobility in the maxilla. Biopsy and culture of the removed fragments were performed. The histopathological report of the collected fragments included findings of hyphae suggestive of aspergillosis. The patient reported nosebleeds and rhinorrhea, in addition to hearing loss, and is being monitored with voriconazole medication and is preparing for surgery and a new cycle of chemotherapy. The case demonstrates the importance of clinical follow-up of patients undergoing cancer treatment for early diagnosis of infectious advents.
