Abstract
Gastric zygomycosis in a patient with gastric cancer was described. Co lonization was diagnosed because broad sparsely septate hyphae were id entified in the necrotic tissue of gastric biopsied specimens. No fung us was present within viable tissue. Positive cultures for Rhizopus mi crosporus var. rhizopodiformis were obtained from fragments of biopsie d specimens. Members of the Mucorales have rarely been isolated from t he culture of endoscopically biopsied materials.
