## Abstract
Aggressive aspergillosis is a life-threatening fungal infection with rapid progress, mainly affecting the maxillofacial area, especially the nose and paranasal sinuses, in patients with immunocompromised conditions such as diabetes mellitus. Aggressive aspergillosis infection should be differentiated from other invasive fungal sinusitis for early recognition with correct prompt treatment. The main treatment is aggressive surgical debridement such as maxillectomy. Although aggressive debridement should be performed, preservation of the palatal flap should be considered for better postoperative outcomes. In this manuscript, we report the case of a diabetic patient with aggressive aspergillosis affecting the maxilla and paranasal sinuses and describe the appropriate surgical management and prosthodontic rehabilitation.
