A case of subcutaneous entomophthoromycosis caused by Basidiobolus haptosporus in a five year‐old child was presented. The case has unusual aspects: extensive ulceration, caseation necrosis and a lack of response to potassium iodide. The lesion was cured using an association of potassium iodide and ketoconazole.
