Polymicrobial bacterial infections account for a majority of cases of Fournier’s gangrene, although fungal etiologies are becoming increasingly common. We report the first case of Fournier’s gangrene caused solely by Candida tropicalis in a 68-years-old diabetic female. The infection ultimately proved fatal despite maximal medical and surgical therapy. We recommend fungal sources and empiric antifungal therapy is considered in high-risk individuals.
