Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that can be very destructive and often fatal. People most prone to this infection include those who are immunocompromised. Early diagnosis and treatment, along with addressing the risk factors, play a pivotal role in the management. Here, the authors are reporting three cases of immunocompromised patients. Among them, two had uncontrolled diabetes, and the third had a history of renal transplant and COVID-19 infection. All three cases are distinct anatomically; one is pulmonary, one is rhino-orbital-cerebral, and the last one is rhino-maxillary.
