Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis (GIB) is a rare fungal infection with few reported cases worldwide. We report here the first case diagnosed in Oman in a previously healthy 5-year-old Omani female child who had been thought initially to have an abdominal malignancy. The case was referred to the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in July 2012. She was treated successfully with surgical resection and prolonged antifungal therapy (voriconazole). Physicians, including clinicians, radiologists and pathologists, should have a high index of suspicion for GIB when a patient presents with an abdominal mass and fever.
胃肠道蛙粪霉病(GIB)是一种罕见的真菌感染,全球报道的病例很少。我们在此报告阿曼首例确诊病例,患者为一名5岁健康阿曼女童,最初被认为患有腹部恶性肿瘤。该病例于2012年7月转诊至阿曼马斯喀特的皇家医院。她通过手术切除和长期抗真菌治疗(伏立康唑)成功治愈。当患者出现腹部肿块和发热时,包括临床医生、放射科医生和病理科医生在内的医生应高度怀疑GIB。
