Abstract : Cervicofacial fungal cellulitis are rare disease, it’s an extensive and serious opportunistic infection with often late diagnosis and fatal progression, especially in immunocompromised or patients with co-morbidities. Their treatment is medico surgical. Only an early and adequate management guarantees a better prognosis. We report the case of cervicofacial fungal cellulitis of otogenic origin for a 39 years male patient, diabetic type I poorly balanced and whose evolution was unfortunately fatal.
