Abstract

|
|
Majocchi¡¯s granuloma is a well recognized but uncommon infection of dermal and subcutaneous tissue by fungal organisms usually limited to the superficial epidermis. The organism usually associated with Majocchi¡¯s granuloma is Trichophyton(T.) rubrum, however, other dermatophytes may be the causative agent. We presented a 74-year-old female who had a well defined erythematous nodular plaque on her right cheek for 1 month. Histopathologic findings was consistent with the Majocchi¡¯s granuloma, showing perifolliculitis and granulomatous inflammation in dermis. Many fungal elements were noted in the follicular keratin plug and giant cells in the granulomatous inflammation of the perifollicular dermis in the H & E stain. But no fungal hyphae was noted in horny layer of the epidermis and a culture for the fungus was failed. The cutaneous lesion treated with terbinafine (Lamisil¢ç) 250 mg and lanoconazole cream daily with cured one month later.
