Abstract
Mucormycosis is an acute fulminant fungal infection with characteristic early angioinvasion. High index of suspicion is crucial for the diagnosis, as prompt and appropriate management can considerably reduce morbidity and mortality. Primary cutaneous mucormycosis occurs mostly in adults and is rare in the pediatric age group, most often noted in immunocompromised children. In this series we present three cases of cutaneous mucormycosis of the nose, among which one was immunocompetent and rest were immunocompromised. All three were successfully treated with local debridement and amphotericin B.
