We report the fifth case of subcutaneous zygomycosis caused by Basidiobolus haptosporus in Brazil. The lesion appeared as a tumor in the right mandibular area mimicking Burkitt's lymphoma of the jaw. In this patient evaluation of cellular immunity with the lymphoblastic transformation test yielded normal results.

Accepted for publication July 15, 1981.
