AB  - INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic fungal 
      infection, primarily affecting the respiratory tract. Extra pulmonary 
      presentation is rare, representing less than 1% of cases (about 1 in every 200 
      cases). CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 73-year-old male with acute 
      surgical abdomen secondary to Intestinal Paracoccidioidomycosis requiring 
      intestinal resection and postoperative antifungal therapy. CONCLUSION: Intestinal 
      Paracoccidioidomycosis represents a rare pathology with challenging diagnostic 
      approach due to its frequency and nonspecific clinical manifestations. Extra 
      pulmonary presentation is rare, but it should be considered in endemic regions.
