Résumé
Mucormycosis or black fungus is one of the most lethal, progressing, and rapid form of deep fungal infections in humans which is caused by group of molds called mucormycetes. It is called black fungus infection due to black nasal discharges and black patches around nose found in the initial stage. The most common variety is rhino-orbito-cerebral-maxillary, although there are also pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and disseminated variations. In recent years, mucormycosis has become increasingly prevalent in immunocompromised individuals, with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and associated consequences as the primary source of the cause. Rhino-orbito-cerebral-maxillary variety usually involves the nose, paranasal sinuses, brain, and maxilla but the involvement of mandibular bone is exceedingly rare. In this case report, we present a case of a 59-year-old male affected with mandibular mucormycosis in post-COVID scenario which is quite rare situation.
