Basidiobolomycosis, a rare fungal infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum, can present as masses mimicking cancer. Early diagnosis and antifungal treatment, like voriconazole and itraconazole, are crucial for patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Basidiobolomycosis is a rare, potentially fatal fungal infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum.
  • Retroperitoneal or mesenteric basidiobolomycosis can present as masses that mimic malignant tumors.
  • Non-specific symptoms like jaundice, weight loss, abdominal pain, and vomiting often delay diagnosis.
