ABSTRACT
We report a case of fixed cutaneous type sporotrichosis with atypical histopathologic findings in a 18-year-old male patient, who presented with a 1-year history of a 4x3 cm sized, crusted, erythematous plaque and several small erythematous papules on the left knee. The histopathologic findings showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, abscess formation, chronic granulomatous inflammation and many PAS-positive fungal spores and hyphae in the dermis. Sporothrix schenckii was identified with fungal culture of biopsy specimen. The lesions improved with three pulses of itraconazole 400mg daily for a week per month.
