Conidiobolomycosis: apparent yet overlooked. A report of two cases

Despite its rarity, this infection should be considered in patients presenting with persistent rhino-facial swelling, especially in endemic areas. While the prognosis is generally good, prolonged therapy may be necessary, and cosmetic deformities may persist. Increased clinical awareness and timely diagnosis are essential to prevent complications and disfigurement associated with this overlooked fungal infection.

Abstract

Despite its rarity, this infection should be considered in patients presenting with persistent rhino-facial swelling, especially in endemic areas. While the prognosis is generally good, prolonged therapy may be necessary, and cosmetic deformities may persist. Increased clinical awareness and timely diagnosis are essential to prevent complications and disfigurement associated with this overlooked fungal infection.
