Abstract
Abstract Zygomycosis is an invasive disease caused by fungi in of the class Zygomycetes. Primary cutaneous zygomycosis is uncommon. We report a case of post-traumatic most lethal form of cutaneous zygomycosis (gangrenous cellulitis), which closely resembles necrotizing fasciitis in a young healthy male patient with polytrauma. Multiple surgical debridements, skin grafting, and intravenous antifungal therapy were necessary to ultimately eradicate the infection. The early diagnosis by tissue culture and histopathology study is mandatory to successfully treat this condition.
