ABSTRACT
A few case of deep granulomatous cutaneous infection have been reported in the Korean dermatologic literature, but Trichophyton(T.) mentagrophytes granuloma is rare. We report a case of Trichophytic granuloma caused by T. mentagrophytes in a 10-year-old male, who showed three, mild pruritic, coin to walnut-sized, erythematous plaques with indurations and crusts on the face for 1 month. Fungal culture of the biopsy specimen and scales of the lesion revealed T. mentagrophytes. Histopathologic examination of the skin lesion showed chronic granulomatous inflammation in the dermis and fungal hyphae in the hair shaft. After four weeks of terbinafine administration, lesions were cleared with mild erythematous macules.
