Orofacial conidiobolomycosis due to Conidiobolus incongruus.
We report here a patient of orofacial conidiobolomycosis presenting with classical centrofacial distribution described typically for Conidiobolus coronatus infection. The culture, however, showed C. incongruus. The mode of infection and its possible correlation with patient's occupation is also discussed.
