摘要：
We report a case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis caused by Mucor irregularis. A 52-year-old male farmer was presented to our hospital with a history of progressive nodule and plaque with ulceration on the face for two and a half years. Broad, aseptate hyphae were seen in direct KOH examination and biopsy. Fungal culture showed light yellow filamentous colonies. The rRNA sequencing revealed M. irregularis was the responsible fungus. Amphotericin B in gradually increasing dose and itraconazole were administered. When the cumulative dose of amphotericin B was 1500 mg, the skin lesion improved significantly with remaining scars on the face. Then, the patient received sequential oral itraconazole treatment for 8 months. There was no recurrence up to now through follow-ups.
