 Subcutaneous zygomycosis (also known as "entomophthoromycosis basidiobolae""," subcutaneous phycomycosis, and basidiobolomycosis) is a both human and non-human animal disease or lesion caused by the granulomatous infection of subcutaneous tissue by "B. ranarum".Several enzymes produced by "B. ranarum", including lipase and protease, might hydrolyze and utilize the fatty tissues of the host and contribute to the pathogenesis of the infection.Considering the broad-range distribution of "B. ranarum" and its high ubiquity, subcutaneous zygomycosis is not really prevalent.
