Abstract :
Entomophthoromycosis (subcutaneous zygomycosis) is a sporadic subcutaneous infection that is largely restricted to tropical areas of Africa, Asia, and South America. It presents in two clinically distinct forms. Subcutaneous zygomycosiscaused by Basidiobolusranarum and rhinofacialzygomycosis caused by Conidioboluscoronatus. It is characterized by formation of firm, non–tender swellings, generally on the extremities, trunk but its occurrence in lip is rare which prompted us to report this case. Our case reportalso highlights the importance of awareness & early recognition of this entity to prevent disfigurement produced by advanced disease, misdiagnosis, & unnecessary delay in treatment in endemic areas.
