RESUMO
The paper reports a case of tinea corporis bullosa in a 63-year-old woman. Near the classical annular lesions on the anterior surface of the left leg, the patient presented frank bullous lesions. Serous fluid from the bulla yielded Microsporum canis, the first report of the association of this fungus with bullous lesions in tinea corporis. The patient was investigated with routine examinations and immunological studies which showed an intense inflammatory process much greater than in usual cases of tinea corporis.
