Basidiobolomycosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2087283296

Basidiobolomycosis is characterised by a slowly spreading, painless, non-pitting subcutaneous swelling without other obvious clinical signs. It may be single, or there may be multiple satellite lesions. The disc-shaped masses have a uniform hard consistency. It usually involves the limbs or limb-girdle areas and the infection is most often seen in children.
