ABSTRACT
Sporotrichosis is a chronic cutaneous fungal infection caused by Sporothrix (S.) schenckii complex. Fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis is one of the three subtype of sprotrichosis and accounts for 20% of total sporotrichosis cases. However, the incidence of total sporotrichosis cases is decreasing recently due to improvement of personal hygiene and industrialization. A 60-year-old woman presented to the hospital with multiple erythematous papules and ulcers on left cheek for 5 months. Histopathologic examination revealed chronic granulomatous inflammation and immunohistochemical staining was positive for GMS and PAS stain. The fungal culture on Sabouraud dextrose agar showed grayish dark brown colonies and the sequences of ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region of clinical sample was 100% similarity with S. globosa. The patient was treated with oral itraconazole 200 mg daily and topical ketoconazole cream for 3 months. At that time after this treatment, skin lesion was almost cured and recurrence is not observed to date.
