Mucormycosis is a rare invasive and life-threatening fungal infection usually affecting immunocompromised individuals caused by zygomycetes fungi. Incidence of mucormycosis in immunocompetent individuals is quite rare and is usually attributed to minor trauma. Most common clinical presentations include rhinocerebral and pulmonary forms followed by cutaneous form of mucormycosis where it usually presents as indurated erythematous plaques, targetoid and purpuric lesions. We present a case of mucormycosis in a 34-year-old immunocompetent male presenting with forearm masquerading as soft tissue sarcoma for its rarity in site and clinical presentation.
