A 37-year-old patient with acute nonlymphatic leukemia developed gastrointestinal phycomycosis during failure in bone marrow production. The clinical presentation was of acute typhlitis. Laparotomy revealed a necrotic mass in the region of the iliocecal valve, and on histologic examination hyphae of phycomycetes with invasion of the blood vessels were seen. The patient died as a result of widespread infection.
