    Mucormycosis, a severe fungal infection, can affect the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This case highlights imaging features and successful treatment with amphotericin-B, showing prolonged survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Mucormycosis is a life-threatening fungal infection characterized by thrombosis and infarction.
    • Gastrointestinal mucormycosis predominantly affects diabetic and immunocompromised patients.

    Observation:

    • This case report details the radiological findings of a gastrointestinal mucormycosis lesion.
    • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of gastrointestinal involvement.

    Findings:

    • Radiological imaging revealed characteristic features of gastrointestinal mucormycosis.
    • Treatment with amphotericin-B resulted in prolonged survival for the patient.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the radiological appearances is crucial for early diagnosis of gastrointestinal mucormycosis.
