Abstract
Mucormycosis is a severe, rapidly progressive fungal infection, seen in immunocompromised patients. We report an unusual case of mucormycosis of maxilla, presenting only with cheek abscess. The patient was a young male with uncontrolled diabetes. This presentation of mucormycosis is rare, complete examination and high degrees of suspicion are necessary. The rapid progression in lack of active treatment is often fatal.
