ABSTRACT
Systemic mucormycosis is a rare fatal fungal infection that usually involves the nasopharynx. Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is rare, occurring in immunocompromised conditions and with advanced malignancies. We report a 35-year-old man, an alcoholic, admitted with acute abdomen. Endoscopy revealed an ulcerated plaque-like lesion in the stomach. Histology revealed mucormycosis of the stomach. The patient successfully underwent treatment with amphotericin-B.
