Abstract

We report three cases of zygomycosis following liver transplant in a series of 300 patients. Diagnosis was determined via anatomicopathological examination (on necropsy in two cases and during surgery in one case). The disease had different manifestations: rhinomaxillary, gastrointestinal and, in one case, it compromised the liver artery anastomosis. In this case, surgical removal of the affected region and use of amphotericin B achieved resolution.
