A 45-year-old woman comes to the physician because
of progressive facial swelling and pain during the past
week. She has a 10-year history of poorly controlled
type 1 diabetes mellitus. Physical examination shows
ecchymoses over the left orbital and periorbital regions
with proptosis. There is a necrotic lesion with a black
eschar in the left nares. Findings on microscopic
examination of material from the lesion include broad,
irregularly shaped, nonseptate hyphae with branches at
right angles. Which of the following is the most likely
cause of the nasal lesion?
(A) Histoplasma capsulatum
(B) Rhizopus oryzae
