Abstract
Case Report: 19 years old male was presented with symptoms and signs mimicking abdominal TB. His workup showed marked Eosinophilia and an inflammatory mass in the right side of the colon. Pathology obtained by colonoscopy confirmed active eosinophilic colitis and treated accordingly by gastroenterologist. Nevertheless, his condition worsened in the form of intestinal obstruction. Radiologic investigations showed obstructed cecal lesion with apple core appearance and right hemicolectomy was performed. Final result has been proved to be gastro-intestinal basidiobolomycosis.
