We report two cases of patients with oropharyngeal infection by Lodderomyces elongisporus. The identification of the two isolates was confirmed after sequencing the ITS1 and ITS4 regions. The antifungal susceptibility test revealed low MIC values for the different antifungals tested. This is the first reported case of L. elongisporus present during an oropharyngeal infection and describes the laboratory methodology employed in the diagnosis.
