[Fungal stomach ulcer].

Fungal gastric ulcer is a relatively frequent from of gastric mycosis coexisting in 20-30% of cases with peptic ulcer. In such cases fungi were present in patients without other disease and in those with concomitant diseases such as neoplasms, polyps of the stomach, haematological diseases, and in patients treated with cytostatics and H2-blockers.
