Early diagnosis remains challenging in resource\u2010limited settings because initial manifestations often mimic bacterial sinusitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a 38\u2010year\u2010old woman with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus presenting with left facial pain, swelling, and nasal discharge accompanied by mild DKA. She was initially treated for bacterial maxillary sinusitis with antibiotics and insulin therapy; however, progressive facial necrosis and subsequent orbital involvement prompted surgical debridement and histopathological examination, which confirmed mucormycosis. The patient underwent repeated surgical debridement, conventional amphotericin B therapy, and intensive glycemic control, resulting in complete clinical recovery without recurrence during 3\u2009years of follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of mucormycosis in resource\u2010limited settings and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion in diabetic patients whose facial or orbital symptoms worsen despite appropriate antibacterial therapy.
