Non-healing gastric ulcer associated with Candida infection.
Candida bezoars of the stomach usually occur after gastric surgery. We report a small Candida mass occurring on a non-healing gastric ulcer in a 40-year-old male non-smoker. The ulcer healed with fluconazole and withdrawal of the proton pump inhibitor.
