ABSTRACT
This paper describes that invasive aspergillosis was found in oral cavity, especially in lower molar periodontium in a immunocompromised 34-year-old woman who had been admitted in hemato-oncology with the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. Antifungal therapy and surgical excision of involved teeth, bone and gingiva were the treatment of choice. After treatment infected area was healed very well. We would like to report our case because we could not find any paper reporting on invasive aspergillosis occurring in lower molar periodontium.
