چکیده

Introduction: Immunosuppression conditions are the leading risk factors for opportunistic fungal infections. The clinical manifestation is related to the site of infection. Gastrointestinal (GI) mucormycosis is a rare form of this disease, even in immunosuppressed patients. Conclusions: Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is an uncommon infection with symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and melena. The mortality of GI involvement is due to perforation, peritonitis, and GI bleeding.
