We have described a fatal case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a stable anephric patient who was not diabetic and was not receiving immunosuppressive therapy. In a literature search from 1966 to the present, ours is only the second case of a stable dialysis patient reported with this illness, and it is the only reported fatality.
