| Core Tip |
Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis is a rare fungal infection most seen in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the desert areas of the United States. Unlike other fungal infections, it commonly occurs in immunocompetent individuals. Histopathological findings like the Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon remains cornerstone of this infection diagnosis. While itraconazole is first line medication in most cases, posaconazole is utilized in treatment-refractory cases. Awareness should be raised in clinicians of endemic regions to consider gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with an inflammatory ileocecal mass with eosinophilia. |
