摘要：

Zygomycosis occurs as an opportunistic infection following organ transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy Gastrointestinal zygomycosis is an exceedingly rare and usually fatal presentation of this infection. We discuss the case of a renal transplant recipient who survived cecal perforation from zygomycosis The successful treatment consisted of aggressive surgical resection, intensive course of antifungal therapy and rapid withdrawal of anti-rejection medications.
