ABSTRACT
Mucormycosis is a rare invasive fungal infection that chiefly occurs in immunocompromized patients and the outcome is generally fatal. Primary cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare phenotype of mucormycosis, and it usually follows direct inoculation of fungi on damaged skin. Many cutaneous infections mimic sprotrichosis, including virus, bacteria, acid-fast bacilli, fungi and protozoa, yet mucormycosis is very rare. We report on a case of cutaneous mucormycosis that mimicked sporotrichosis in a 77 years old woman.
