Deskripsi
Gastrointestinal (GI) mucormycosis commonly affects adults with neutropenia or other immunocompromising conditions. GI mucormycosis is uncommon but has high mortality rate. We report a case of colonic mucormycosis in a patient of chronic obstructive airway disease who presented with massive lower GI bleed.
