Abstract

Basidiobolomycosis is a chronic granulomatous infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue which is caused by Basidiobolus ranarum.

Here we are reporting three cases of Gastrointestinal Basidiobolomycosis from the southern region of Saudi Arabia. The three patients were diagnosed based on histopathology result and CT abdomen. They had different pathological sites with multiple gastrointestinal tract (GIT) involvement, all of them were treated successfully with antifungal monotherapy (Itraconazole) without surgical intervention, and all of them responded well without any relapses.
