Gastroesophageal Mucormycosis in an Immunocompetent Host Within Incarcerated Paraesophageal Hernia

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection typically affecting persons with immunocompromise. Gastrointestinal infection of immunocompetent hosts is exceedingly rare. We report a case of gastroesophageal mucormycosis in an immunocompetent host that manifested as gastric necrosis within an incarcerated paraesophageal hernia. The patient was managed with resection, requiring subtotal gastrectomy and esophagectomy, and prompt antifungal treatment, resulting in full recovery.
