A case of Nasofacial Zygomycosis in a 15-year-old male patient from South India is reported. This patient had typical thickening of the nasofacial mucosa and the skin overlying it. The diagnosis was confirmed with fungal cultures. Although initially good response to treatment with potassium iodide was achieved, later the response was unsatisfactory, probably partly due to irregularity in treatment. Treatment with sulphamethoxazole--trimethoprim and prednisolone combination has resulted in remarkable improvement.
