Introduction:
Mucormycosis is a disease caused by fungi of the order Mucoraceae of the
class Zygomycetes. It is a potentially fatal fungal infection that
usually affects immunocompromised hosts almost uniformly. Clinically,
the rhino-orbito-cerebral location is the most common. Mucormycosis of
the external and middle ear is a rare entity. The aim of this case is to
illustrate the pathogenesis of this clinical entity, its clinical
presentation and diagnosis and to discuss its therapeutic modalities and
prognosis.
