ABSTRACT
Sporotrichosis is a chronic infection that follows accidental implantation of the fungus Sporothrix schenckii into the skin. The infection begins with skin trauma under conditions when conidia may be present. A 48-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of an 8X 12 cm sized, centrally depressed, erythematous plaque on the left wrist. She had been treated with antifungal agents at an other hospital for about 6 months but there was no improvement. The histopathological findings showed an infiltration of mononuclear cells and tuberculoid structures on the whole dermis and subcutis. According to the histopathological findings and clinical manifestations, she was diagnosed as having lupus vulgaris. There was much improvement of the lesion after antituberculous therapy. However, 2 months later she developed asymptomatic multiple erythematous papules around the lesion of lupus vulgaris and along the lymphatic drainage of the left arm. The histopathological findings of the newly developed lesion showed a granulomatous reaction and an infiltrate of acute and chronic inflammatory cells. Moist and creamy colonies were changed into brown-to-black ones with a leathery appearance with age. This appearance and clinical manifestations confirmed the diagnosis of lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis. This clinical appearance reflects that the sporotrichosis developed on the ulcerative lesion or biopsy site of lupus vulgaris.
