Abstract
Basidiobolomycosisis an unusual fungal infection that manifests in the skin and rarely involves other systems including the gastrointestinal tract. We retrospectively reviewed records of six pediatric patients (< or =14 years of age) diagnosed with gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis from March 2000 to March 2002. Four patients came from the same region, suggesting environmental exposure. Basidiobolomycosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis in pediatric patients presenting with abdominal mass and eosinophilia.Entities:
