Background: may cause fatal infections in immunocompromised patients. This is the first case report of invasive infection at an academic-tertiary care center in Palestine.

Case Presentation: We report a 36-year-old woman who presented with fever and severe neutropenia and was found to have AML/Non M3. While receiving her initial chemotherapy treatment, she encountered a rare fungal infection () that spread throughout her lungs, stomach, spleen, liver, and kidneys, presenting difficulties in both diagnosing and treatment. In addition to being treated with both voriconazole and amphotericin B, the patient underwent surgery to remove the infection source, resulting in a cure.

Conclusion: In immunocompromised patients, infection is frequently overlooked. It is essential to give antifungal combinations and to control the source of infection to enhance the outcome for patients.
