Abstract

Mucormycosis is a serious and relatively rare invasive fungal infection. The rhino-orbito-cerebral localization is the most frequent. Mucormycosis of external ear with facial palsy is extremely rare. We describe a case of auricular mucormycosis complicated by parotid abscess and facial palsy in a diabetic patient.
