Basidiobolomycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum. B. ranarum is present worldwide but is more common in tropical and subtropical regions. Typically, it infects exposed surfaces of the body causing subcutaneous nodules, sinus, and nasal infection; however, it rarely causes a soft tissue mass. Histopathological examination is mandatory to make a diagnosis of basidiobolomycosis. Here, we report a case of a five-year-old boy who presented with skin subcutaneous nodules and retroperitoneal and retroaortic soft tissue masses. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of basidiobolomycosis.
