Abstract
ABSTRACT Mucormycosis is an opportunistic infection caused by saprophytic fungi of the order Mucorales. This infection is seen mainly in immunocompromised people with diabetes but can be seen rarely in immunocompetent hosts. Recently, this disease is frequently seen in many patients who had suffered from COVID-19. Among the different sites of mucormycosis, rhinocerebral mucormycosis is the most prevalent form, followed by cutaneous. Surgical debridement followed by antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and the control of the immunocompromised state is the recommended treatment. This case is an unusual presentation of mucormycosis involving the maxillary sinus and the cheek, presented without any nasal symptoms.
