In a 5-month-old hog, abscesses and enlarged lymph nodes indicated a chronic, progressive process in the digestive lymphatic system. Histology showed necroses with fibrotic granulomatous tissue. Grocott staining revealed dark brown, mostly aseptate fungal hyphae. Absidia corymbifera was isolated in culture. The case illustrates its pathogenic potential in animals.
