Entomophthoromycosis is a rare, invasive fungal infection common in tropics. Potential sources of infection could be contaminated soil, leaf litter, insects and water. High index of suspicion is needed as entomophthoromycosis mimics the common sinonasal disease in its nascent stage. Concurrent medical and surgical management is the most effective treatment.
