In a diabetic patient, these spores germinate quickly and disseminate hematogenously to the surroundings. Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare but aggressive, invasive, and life-threatening fungal infection. Its presentation is nonspecific, but it rapidly results in necrosis of underneath tissues. Diagnosis can be readily made by KOH wet mount of excise tissue. However, a prompt diagnosis with multidisciplinary management is a prerequisite for a better outcome.
