Popis: A severely debilitated patient showed primary cutaneous mucormycosis with a Mucor species at a tape erosion site. The pathogenic nature and epidemiologic features of this unusual fungal infection are reviewed to emphasize its recognition in the differential diagnosis of ischemic lesions in immunocompromised patients. Iron overload may be a risk factor for mucormycosis.
