Subcutaneous Basidiobolomycosis in a fourteen month old child A mimicker of abscess and soft tissue sarcoma

We present a rare case of subcutaneous basidiobolomycosis in a fourteen month old boy involving the left buttock and the upper two third of the left thigh. Mistaken initially for an abscess and soft tissue sarcoma, the diagnosis was established by a wedge biopsy from the growing edge. 6 weeks of antifungal therapy resulted in complete resolution of the swelling.
