ABSTRACT
A case of generalized cutaneous mucormycosis is reported in a healthy young boy. He had multiple nodular lesions on his thigh, leg, neck, and chest. Direct examination, culture of the discharges of lesions, and biopsy specimen obtained from the thigh lesion were negative for fungal elements. Histologic examination of the autopsy specimen revealed broad, non-septate hyphae and in culture, Rhizopus sp. were isolated. The diagnosis was made too late for appropriate therapeutic intervention. This is the first report of mucormycosis in a healthy person in Iran
