[Candidiasis of digestive tract mucous membranes as a marker of malignant neoplasms].
Presents the findings of mycologic examinations of 12 patients with carcinomas of various sites. Though such examinations were carried out because of mycotic involvement of the mucous membranes of the digestive and respiratory organs, profound studies have revealed malignant tumors. A case history is presented. The authors come to a conclusion that candidiasis may complicate and mask the course of malignant tumors of various sites over all the phases of their development. This necessitates purposeful search for a possible tumor in patients with deep mycoses.
