A 44-year-old male, who presented with gradually increasing left jaw swelling and pain over the course of 2 weeks, is diagnosed with acute invasive zygomycosis. The patient had a history of hepatitis C and alcoholic liver cirrhosis. (a) Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the face in the bone algorithm, axial view shows mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinuses with the erosion of the left maxillary bone (anterior and posterior walls) and obliteration of the periantral fat planes in the premaxillary and masticator spaces (arrows). (b) Magnetic resonance imaging T2-weighted and (c) gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted fat saturated imaging of the face in axial view shows inflammatory changes and contrast enhancement in the described periantral planes and masticator muscles due to fungal invasion (arrows).
