Case report identifies mucormycosis presenting with gastric perforation, suggesting the need for early diagnosis.
Background: Mucormycosis typically manifests as rhino-orbital-cerebral, pulmonary, or cutaneous disease, with primary hepatic involvement being extremely rare. Early diagnosis is challenging due to its non-specific symptoms and the rapidly angioinvasive nature of Mucorales species. Here, we report a case of invasive hepatic Mucor indicus infection complicated by gastric perforation, highlighting the importance of timely recognition of this disease entity.
