basidiobolomycosis
ba·sid·i·ob·o·lo·my·co·sis (bə-sid″e-ob″ə-lo-mi-koґsis) a chronic type of emtomophthoromycosis caused by Basidiobolus ranarum, with formation of gradually enlarging granulomas in the subcutaneous tissues of the upper limbs, chest, and trunk. Multiple purulent ulcers may also develop. It occurs in Indonesia, central Africa, and India, affecting chiefly children and adolescents. Unlike the other zygomycoses, it is not associated with any apparent predisposing factors. Called also subcutaneous phycomycosis and subcutaneous zygomycosis.
