Abstract

|
Tinea imbricata is a unique dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton concentricum, observed endemically in subtropical to torrid zones. It is characterized by development of impressive concentric rings on the trunk or limbs. And few dermatophytosis cases mimicking this disease are reported as "tinea pseudoimbricata". Herein, we report a case of tinea pseudoimbricata caused by T. tonsurans with multiple concentric annular erythemas. The common clinical manifestations of T. tonsurans infection are tinea capitis and tinea corporis. However, tinea imbricate-like lesions are very rare. Fungal culture and microscopic findings confirmed a T. tonsurans infection in this case. The patient was treated with topical isoconazle and additional oral terbinafine.
