title: [Benign sinusal mucor colonization in association with septal deviation].
abstract: Mucormycosis is a well recognised opportunistic infection caused by saprophytic fungi of the Mucoraceae family. Usually, the upper aerodigestive tract is the portal of entry. Patients who are debilitated or inmunosuppressed might present with these infections, although sometimes can happen in patients with good health. We present a case of benign mucor colonitation at the sinus maxillary associated a deviated nasal septum.
