This case report describes the progressive wound infection in the left thigh of a 34-year-old man due to an old landmine explosion. The infection developed into rapidly spreading skin and soft tissue necrotising Saksenaea infection, despite antifungal therapy and surgical debridement. The report provides evidence that Saksenaea spp. should be added to the list of mucoralean fungi that can cause severe necrotising infection. It also highlights the need for improved early diagnostic procedures and enhanced understanding of Saksenaea virulence factors that contribute to necrotising infection.
