A rare case of primary lingual mucormycosis in an uncontrolled diabetic patient

A 34-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus with a painful necrotic ulcer over the lateral tongue, an uncommon site for mucormycosis. Histopathology confirmed broad aseptate right-angle bronching hyphae consistent with primary lingual mucormyosis. Early surgical debridement, glycemic optimization, and liposomal amphotericin B resulted in favourable clinical recovery, highlighting the importance of prompt recognition of atypical oral lesions in immunocompromised patients
