ABSTRACT
A three-phase bone scan was performed in a patient with rhino-orbital mucormycosis, in order to aid with the extent of surgical resection. This case illustrates the usefulness of the three-phase bone scan, and provides an excellent correlation with previous surgeries and pictures of the patient.
