ABSTRACT
Mucormycosis is an uncommon, frequently fatal, opportunistic fungal infection. Rhino-cerebral and pulmonary involvement are the most common forms and usually occur in immunecompromised patients. Gastrointestinal involvement is extremely rare, the stomach being the most frequently involved site among them. We report a case of gastric mucormycosis in a 37 year old male alcoholic with gastric ulcer. On histological examination, characteristic findings of hyphae with irregular width and right angle branchings were observed in the gastric mucosa and ulcer debris. The diagnosis of gastric mucormycosis was made by the characteristic histological nature. The patient was treated aggressively with antibiotics and antiulcer regimen for 6 weeks, and then no fungus was present on follow up biopsy of gastric mucosa.
