Basidiobolomycosis is a rare fungal disease caused by Basidiobolus ranarum which is an environmental saprophyte. It is a chronic
inflammatory disease that is generally restricted to the subcutaneous tissue and rarely involves gastrointestinal tract. With the
intent to spread the awareness of this potentially life threatening and rare infection, we report a 4 years old boy presenting with
abdominal pain and fever with eventual diagnosis of gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis. We discuss the non-specific and confusing
of symptoms of this rare infection and treatment options in detail.
