Abstract :
Mucormycosis is an uncommon saprophytic opportunistic fungus causing localized cutaneous infection associated with high morbidity and, on dissemination, high mortality. Mucormycosis typically develops in patients with compromised immune system as a consequence of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, renal failure, organ transplantation, chemotherapy, severe burns, and malnutrition. Rhinocereal mucormycosis is the most common type while occurrence on palate is rare & late. Here we present two confirmed and one suspected case of mucormycosis presenting as maxillary osteomylitis
