Primary gastric mucormycosis

Deepanshu Khanna, Jata Shankar, Ayush Jasrotia, Pabitra Sahu

Primary gastric mucormycosis is a rare but potentially lethal fungal infection due to the invasion of Mucorales into the gastric mucosa. It may result in high mortality due to increased risk of complications in immunocompromised patients. Common predisposing risk factors to develop gastric mucormycosis are prolonged uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, solid organ, or stem cell transplantation, underlying hematologic malignancy, and major trauma.
