Abstract

In many cases of mucormycosis, immediate surgical treatments are necessary because of its fulminant course and destructive characteristics in an immunocompromised patient. However, a chronic indolent type is also observed in a healthy group of people. We experienced rhinomucormycosis in a 56-year-old woman with diabetes who previously had pulmonary mucormycosis. She was treated successfully through endoscopic sinus surgery and nasal irrigation with antifungal agent. Herein, we report the clinical courses and symptoms of this patient with literature review.
