Conclusion:
Auricular mucormycosis is a very rare but serious fungal infection
affecting mainly immunocompromised hosts. This clinical case is unique
in its presentation with an initial extensive involvement of the auricle
with locoregional extension associated with involvement of the facial
and vagus nerves. Early diagnosis, control of risk factors, surgical
debridement of necrotic tissue and administration of antifungals are the
keys to successful treatment.
