| Core Tip |
Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis (GIB) is a rare but potentially fatal fungal infection affecting immunocompetent individuals, often mimicking malignancy. This case highlights a 32-year-old Saudi male presenting with right lower quadrant abdominal pain and an ileocecal mass, initially suspected as colon cancer. Colonoscopy and histopathology confirmed GIB, revealing fungal hyphae, eosinophilic infiltration, and granulomatous inflammation. Voriconazole therapy induced hepatotoxicity, necessitating a switch to posaconazole. The patient achieved full clinical and radiological resolution after four months. Early recognition and targeted antifungal therapy are essential for favorable outcomes. This case underscores the importance of considering GIB in the differential diagnoses of abdominal masses in endemic regions. |
