A 18 year young, healthy, immunocompetent girl presented with proptosis of left eye, referred to eye OPD, suspected clinico-radiologically as malignancy. This presentation with suspicion of malignancy resulted into extensive surgical debridement with removal of left eye, which was diagnosed as mucormycosis on histopathological examination. Her eye could have been saved if the mucormycosis was highly suspected initially, because of the good general health and immunocompetency led to misdirected thought.
一名18岁健康、免疫功能正常的年轻女孩出现左眼突出，转诊至眼科门诊，临床放射学怀疑为恶性肿瘤。这种疑似恶性肿瘤的表现导致了广泛的手术清创并摘除了左眼，组织病理学检查诊断为毛霉菌病。如果最初能高度怀疑毛霉菌病，她的眼睛本可以保住，由于她总体健康状况良好且免疫功能正常，导致了诊断思路的偏差。
