摘要：

Children manifesting soft-tissue fungal infections are uncommonly seen, more so the subgroup of invasive soft-tissue mucormycosis. Invasive fungal infections in various organs respond differently and are often complicated by an immune-compromised host. Repeated and aggressive clearance of disease till an infection-clear margin is obtained is the mainstay of surgical therapy. This is coupled with appropriate antifungal therapy and the management of any underlying medical conditions. From our experience, we propose a surgical algorithm for therapy of soft-tissue mucormycosis in children.
