Highlights
We describe a previously healthy young patient with gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis misdiagnosed as colonic malignancy.

Acquaintance with this exceptionally rare infection is critical for successful clinical outcome.
Azoles are effective anti-fungal therapy for gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis.
