Fungal infections of the liver, most commonly caused by Candida spp., often occur in patients with hematologic malignancies treated with chemotherapy. Colonization of the gastrointestinal tract is thought to be the main origin of dissemination of Candida; mucositis and neutropenia facilitate the spread of Candida from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver. Hepatic involvement due to other fungi is a less common infectious complication in this setting. Fungal infections represent a less common cause of hepatic abscesses in non-oncohematologic population and the trend appears to be decreasing in recent years. Understanding of the etiology and epidemiology of fungal infections of the liver is indicated for an appropriate antimicrobial therapy and an overall optimal management of fungal liver infections.

<i>Basidiobolus ranarum</i> is known to cause subcutaneous mycoses; however, rare cases of hepatic and gastrointestinal involvement by basidiobolomycosis have been reported. Hepatic basidiobolomycosis may be confused with a carcinoma on imaging, and histological examination and fungal culture can help distinguish between these two. We report a rare case of basidiobolomycosis in a 16-year-old male with liver and gastrointestinal involvement.

“…Some cases contain abundant eosinophilic infiltration and may be described as eosinophilic granulomas; this is common in zygomycosis due to Basidiobolus ranarum. 390,[394][395][396] These fungi have broad (10 to 20 µm), aseptate or hyposeptate, ribbonlike hyphae with right-angle branching, and they have a propensity in immunosuppressed patients, particularly organ transplant recipients. Liver abscess and cholangitis secondary to Aspergillus infection have been described.…”
