Abstract Basidiobolomycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by basidiobolus ranarum. The vast majority of gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis cases were reported from tropical and subtropical regions. We report a Saudi pediatric patient with ileal basidiobolomycosis and initial clinical presentation mimicking acute appendicitis before being misdiagnosed as Crohn's disease. Our case is the first to report effective treatment of pediatric gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis using voriconazole mono-therapy. In addition, we present extensive review of pediatric gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis in medical literature.
