Hidden Beneath an Ulcer: Invasive Mucormycosis Presenting as a Large Anastomotic Ulcer (ACG 2026) - Aug 29, 2026 - Abstract #P3324; Pres time: Oct 12, 2026; 10:30 AM - 04:15 PM; Location: Exhibit Halls A - D (Level 3); "A 6-week course of liposomal amphotericin B and posaconazole (later transitioned to isavuconazole) was initiated, alongside pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily, and famotidine. Early biopsy with fungal staining is critical, as mucormycosis carries high mortality risk without prompt initiation of antifungal therapy and surgical intervention when possible. Gastrointestinal mucormycosis can be successfully managed medically with early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach."
