A Case of Swine Gastric Mucormycosis

Abstract

Gastric mucormycosis was found in a 4-year-old Large Yorkshire sow. Macroscopically, soybean-sized hemorrhagic necrotic lesions were seen in the fundus ventriculi. Histopathologiccally, infiltration of neutrophils, thrombi, and proliferation of hyphae were seen in these lesions. These hyphae were characteristic of the family Mucoracea.
