摘要
Mucormycosis is a rare and life-threatening fungal infection that is associated with high mortality in immunocompromised individuals. Although it most commonly affects lungs and paranasal sinuses, cases of invasive mucormycosis of the gastrointestinal tract have also been reported. Gastrointestinal mucormycosis (GIM) is most commonly found in the stomach, colon, and ileum. Etiologies of GIM include ingestion of spores and penetrating abdominal trauma, causing mucocutaneous disruption. We present a case of an immunocompetent man who presented to our hospital after a gunshot wound to the abdomen. His hospital course was complicated with the development of invasive GIM in the form of a large gastric ulcer, which caused gastrointestinal bleeding and eventually perforation.
