ABSTRACT

Se presenta un caso de Feohifomicosis subcutánea en un paciente joven inmunocompetente, localizada en cara flexora de antebrazo derecho, sin antecedente previo de traumatismo evidenciado por él mismo. Al examen físico presentaba lesiones nodulares y supurativas que al biopsiarlas evidenciaron intensa inflamación granulomatosa, con sectores de fibrosis y extensas áreas de necrosis. Luego se realizaron cultivos y estudios micológicos específicos, dando como diagnóstico una Feohifomicosis subcutánea por Exophiala dermatitidis. El tratamiento consistió en administración de itraconazol más resección quirúrgica completa, sin evidenciar recidivas a los seis meses del control posterior al tratamiento.


In this case we have examined a young male immunocompetent patient suffering from subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis on his right forearm. Upon questioning, the patient did not express having noticed any previous traumatism. Physical examination revealed suppurative nodular lesions which, in the histologic study, showed severe granulomatous inflammation along with fibrotic tissue and necrosis. We carried out the corresponding cultures, the results of which was Exophila dermatitidis, and subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis was diagnosed. The treatment of choice consisted in itraconazole and a surgical procedure to remove the lesion. Six months after the procedure, we have found no sings of the disease.
