We report a 18 years old male that had in several hairs of the scalp, white-yellowish nodules of 1 mm diameter, agglutinated or forming chains, even forming threads, with a greasy aspect. Trichosporon beiglii was identified in cultures. Oral and topical antimycotics were prescribed and the patient was lost from follow up
