ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with abdominal distension and pain two months ago, which worsened after eating. An abdominal CT examination revealed uneven thickening of the gastric wall on the greater curvature side of the gastric body, with progressive obviously enhancement. She was then examined by an upper endoscopy, which showed mucosal swelling on the greater curvature side of the lower gastric body with exudation of necrotic materials. Biopsies of the lesion were taken and histological results revealed a large number of broad-based and non-septate hyphae, with positive expression of PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff) and hexamine silver stains, The patient was treated with amphotericin B liposomal antifungal therapy and remained under surveillance for six months without evidence of disease progression by follow-up upper endoscopy.
