Abstract
Emphysematous gastritis is a rare, often fatal disease characterized by the presence of gas within the walls of the stomach and diffuse gastric wall inflammation due to gas-forming bacteria. Gastric mucormycosis is a rare manifestation of invasive fungal disease, ranging from colonization of peptic ulcers to infiltrative disease with vascular invasion and dissemination. The combination of the two conditions is rare. There are a few reports in the literature of invasive gastric mucormycosis associated with emphysematous gastritis that were fatal. Here, we present a case of invasive gastric mucormycosis associated with emphysematous gastritis for which medical management was successful.
