Figure 1. A - Macroscopic view of the stomach with multiple targetoid lesions of varying size, round to oval in shape with elevated margins and necrotic base (scale bar= 5 cm); B - Section from stomach depicting the transition zone between viable and necrotic tissue, left side of the image shows viable gastric tissue with patent submucosal blood vessels, while the right side shows bland necrosis with obliterated blood vessels (H&E, 20x); C and D - Gomori methenamine silver (GMS) and Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stains highlight the angioinvasive fungal profiles within the submucosal blood vessels (400x). These hyphae are broad, aseptate foldable with right angle branching conforming to the morphology of mucormycosis.
