dc.description.abstractMucormycosis is a rare, saprophytic, invasive, and fulminant fungal disease. It occurs in immunocompromised patients such as those with diabetes mellitus or blood dyscrasia, or in patients under immunosuppressive therapy. A 17-year-old female patient with diabetic ketoacidosis presented with a black-colored lesion in the auricle and external ear canal. Physical examination showed necrosis of the auricle, external ear canal, and neighboring skin. She also had facial paralysis. Debridement of the necrotic tissues was performed and the samples were submitted for microbiologic and histopathologic examination, which showed nonseptate hyphae. Postoperatively, systemic amphotericin B was empirically administered. The patient died on the seventh day.en_US
