Baradkar VP et al. – The authors report a case of cutaneous zygomycosis of face caused by Saksenaea vasiformis in a 54–year–old immunocompetent female. The diagnosis was carried out by microscopy using KOH mount, Gram staining, Gomori's methenamine silver staining, hemotoxylin and eosin staining and culture on Sabouraud's Dextrose agar without actidione. Slide cultures were put up on Czapek Dox agar, which showed typical flask–shaped sporangium with rhizoids. The patient was treated successfully with intravenous amphotericin B.
