Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection that commonly affects patients who are immuno-compromised. It invariably presents as an acute spreading infection, with very poor prognosis if not treated promptly. We
report a case of mucormycosis in immuno-competent elderly patient, presenting as oro-antral communication.
Patient’s history, clinical and laboratory evaluation revealed no systemic predisposing factors. The disease was
non-fulminant, localized and showed remission after local measures, without parentral anti-fungal therapy |
