%X Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection with a rapidly progressive and fulminantcourse with often fatal outcome. A less fulminant variety of this is the Rhino maxillary subtypewhich usually presents with palatal ulceration, facial swelling, turbinate necrosis and purulentsinusitis. We are reporting our experience of 4 such cases seen during the last 10 yrs. A strongsuspicion, prompt diagnosis with pathological confirmation and aggressive surgical treatmentgives a better outcome.
