Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report a case of Majocchi’s granuloma in a 71-year-old immunocompetent male patient, who presented with a 6-month history of mass with multiple erythematous nodules and indurated plaques with scale on the left cheek. Even though the lesion strongly suggested cutaneous tumor, the histopathologic findings were consistent with the Majocchi’s granuloma, showing numerous hyphae, perifolliculitis and granulomatous inflammation with central abscess formation in the dermis. Trichophyton rubrum was isolated from the biopsy specimen fungus culture. The cutaneous lesion was treated with oral administration of itraconazole (200 mg/day) and topical lanoconazole cream for 4 weeks, and successfully treated.
