The clinical, histopathologic, and mycologic aspects of a case of subcutaneous phycomycosis caused by Basidiobolus haptosporus in a 3‐year‐old boy are reported. This is the first documented case from Central and North America. Oral potassium iodide and trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole gave excellent therapeutic results.
