Primary Invasive Mucormycosis of the Stomach

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is a rare form of mucormycosis that can potentially result in fatal outcomes. We encountered a case of gastric mucormycosis, first identified at postmortem following the death of a patient with malignant lymphoma. This paper highlights the unique pathological features of this rare gastric mucormycosis, which were suspected to be the primary source of the infection. Additionally, we made a little thought to the potential possibility that unheated vegetables that might be contaminated with the causative fungus could have played as a vector for carrying the fungus into the gastric mucosa.
