Intra-abdominal infections are known to complicate the course of acute pancreatitis. Invasive fungal infections (Candida spp.) are not the uncommon microorganisms which isolate from intra-abdominal specimen in acute necrotizing pancreatitis. However, we are reporting first case of invasive gastric mucormycosis in a postpartum acute pancreatitis patient.
