Disseminated and ulcerative basidiobolomycosis simulating a Buruli ulcer in an immunocompetent girl in Southern Benin.

Basidiobolomycosis is a subcutaneous mycosis, for which non-specific clinical presentation can be a source of diagnostic wandering. A 5-year-old girl was brought for consultation with chronic ulcers of the pelvic limbs evolving for 8 months. The lesions started when the girl was 18 months old with a painless, pruritic nodule of the right buttock, indurated placard following progressive extension to the pelvic limbs, back and abdomen, and secondarily ulcerated in several places.
