“…• Definition: Entomophthoromycosis is a rare slow growing fungal infection affecting both, immunocompetent and immunodeficient individuals, and presents clinically in two distinct forms including subcutaneous zygomycosis, caused by Basidiobolus ranarum, and rhinofacial zygomycosis, caused by Conidiobolus coronatus (Chokka et al 2010). It usually affects children and adolescents, and rarely adults (Karuna et al 2015).…”

Infectious dermatoses are the major burden of skin diseases prevalent in tropics. Some fungal, protozoal, and helminthic infestations are exclusively seen in tropical regions. Endemic pemphigus and few nutritional deficiencies account for majority of noninfectious tropical dermatoses. Basically, the climatic conditions and inhabiting human's culture and behavior are the chief attributable factors in acquiring and perpetuation of these diseases. Besides, migration and/or tourism further augment the risk of dissemination of tropical skin diseases to other regions of the world.

Basidiobolomycosis or subcutaneous zygomycosis or subcutaneous phycomycosis is a chronic granulomatous infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue, caused by a saprophytic filamentous fungus, Basidiobolus ranarum, clinically characterized by firm, painless subcutaneous swelling with smooth and rounded edges. Histopathological features include the peculiar Splendore–Hoeppli phenomenon. Culture on Sabouraud dextrose agar shows creamy white, heaped up, and furrowed colonies. This entity has been reported from tropical and subtropical regions of the world and the southern part of India. We report a case of Basidiobolomycosis in a seven-year-old girl from Eastern India, which was excised twice before presenting to us. We diagnosed the case as Basidiobolomycosis based on clinical features, histopathology, and culture findings, and treated it with itraconazole.
