ABSTRACT
Sporotrichosis is a chronic cutaneous fungal infection caused by Sporothrix (S.) schenckii. It is subdivided into three groups by clinical manifestation: lymphocutaneous, fixed cutaneous, disseminated sporotrichosis. Lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis is most common type and involves upper extremities usually. The incidence of lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis on the face is very low, especially in children. We report a case of lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis on face in a 10-month-old girl. The lesions represented linear three small erythematous papules on the right cheek. The fungal culture on Sabouraud's dextrose agar showed dark brown to black colored wrinkled colonies. The microscopic examination showed septated, branched mycelia and clustered conidia in slide culture of S. schenckii. The patient was treated with oral administration of potassium iodide and the lesions were cured completely.
