    Abstract:
    Zygomycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection with a fulminant course. Varying clinical forms have been described, including cutaneous zygomycosis, which is mainly observed in diabetic and burns patients. We report herein a case of cutaneous zygomycosis of the nose in a 26-year-old female patient with diabetic ketoacidosis, developing secondary to the application of non-elasticized adhesive tape probably contaminated with fungal spores.
