A case of Pott's puffy tumour in a diabetic patient with renal failure is reported. The patient did not respond to intravenous antibiotics and further investigation revealed that the patient had mucormycosis. As far as we are aware, this is the first case of Pott's puffy tumour due to mucormycosis to be reported in the literature.
