Abstract
A case of mucocutaneous phycomycosis, localized in the face and neck, of 24 years duration, with destruction of the soft tissues of the nose, palate and lips, is described. A granulomatous, chronic inflammatory process, associated with abundant mycelial filaments was observed. On four occasions cultures of biopsy samples yielded the same fungus which Hesseltine & Ellis (1964) regard as Mucor ramosissimus Samutsevitsch. Treatment with amphotericin-B was apparently successful.
