Mucormycosis of Neck a Rare Presentation.

Mucormycosis is a dreaded clinical entity caused by filamentous fungi of the order Mucorales mainly affecting immunocompromised individuals. Usually seen involving paranasal sinuses, orbit, lungs and gastrointestinal system, it is extremely rare in other areas. Herein we report a rare presentation of Mucormycosis affecting the ear and neck where early detection, timely intervention, multidisciplinary involvement and judicious use of local antibiotics apart from the mainstay treatment regimen like surgical debridement and intravenous Amphotericin B has saved the patient and given him a reasonably good quality of life devoid of morbidity.
