Case Reports

Murocmycotic slough of nasal floor and palate in the anephric patient



M Gluskin, MP Solomon, B Gold, ML Corrado, and J Berger

A case of nasopalatine mucormycosis in a patient with chronic renal failure is reported. Early recognition is contingent on histopathological examination of tissue and culturing. Vigorous treatment with amphotericin B and surgical intervention averted possible orbital-cranial involvement and effected a cure. When a chronically debilitated patient has signs of intraoral necrosis or facial swelling and necrosis, or both, the clinician should be alert to the possibility of a mucormycotic infection.
