Mucormycosis is a perilous fungal infection that primarily affects individuals with compromised immune systems. The escalating incidence of conditions such as diabetes, cancer and the use of immunosuppressive drugs renders more individuals susceptible to contracting this disease. This report delves into the case of a 45-year-old woman from Tanzania with diabetes who succumbed to rhino-cerebral mucormycosis. Despite aggressive treatment, which often involves disfiguring surgical debridement and administration of antifungal drugs, the mortality rate remains high. Additionally, we present a comprehensive literature review of the various clinical aspects of Mucormycosis, an uncommon yet fatal condition.
