“…Mucormycosis is an uncommon, opportunistic infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales . This microorganism can be found everywhere in the environment, contaminating the soil, vegetables, animal and manufactured products [1]. It behaves in an extremely aggressive way, invading vessels, soft tissue, nerves, bone and cartilage, which eventually leads to tissue infarction and ultimately vessel thrombosis and necrosis [2].…”
