title: [Primary cutaneous mucormycosis: a case report].
abstract: The authors report the clinical history of a patient having presented a cutaneous mucormycosis at the waning of a traumatic dilapidation post of the left lower limb. Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection due to fungi of the group of mucorales present in the environment. There are various clinical forms of the disease; it occurs generally in a predisposed environment. The diagnosis is based on the mycologic and pathologic examination. The therapeutic approach must be multidisciplinary; the vital and functional prognosis depends on early diagnosis and treatment.
