Mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic fungal infection, which is often aggressive and life-threatening. Mucormycosis typically occurs in patients with diabetes or immunosuppresion. However, mucormycosis can also occur in immunocompetent individuals. The most effective treatment consists of early diagnosis, reversal of underlying predisposing factors, early surgical debridement of necrotic tissue and administration of antifungal therapy. We present the case of an immunocompetent young female suffering from localized paranasal mucormycosis. Pateint was successfully managed with Endoscopic debridement surgery and systemic amphotericin B. The main concern to be highlighted with this case report is to keep mucormycosis as diagnosis even in immunocompetent patients, to diagnose at earliest to avoid complications and mortality.
