A rare case of gastric mucormycosis, a fungal infection of the stomach, was confirmed through laboratory tests. The patient recovered fully after surgical removal of the affected tissue and treatment with Amphotericin B.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Mycology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Mucormycosis is a rare but serious fungal infection, typically affecting immunocompromised individuals.
  • Gastric involvement is an uncommon manifestation of mucormycosis, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • This report details a unique case of gastric mucormycosis.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed by both fungal culture and histopathological examination of resected tissue.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of gastric pathology.
  • Successful treatment involved a combination of surgical resection of the infected gastric segment and systemic administration of Amphotericin B.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering mucormycosis in the differential diagnosis of gastric lesions, especially in at-risk populations.
