Invasive mucormycosis is a rare, serious or even fatal condition. The authors diagnosed and successfully treated the disorder in a 62-year-old diabetes patient. The course of the disease, including justification of the surgical procedure are described in the case review. All treatment options were implemented and, after 121 days of hospitalization, the patient was released for homecare.
