RESUMO
The patient, a 68-year-old female, with chronic anaemia and a previous history of carcinoma of the breast treated surgically, had been receiving therapy with methyl prednisone, in addition to gold, for pemphigus vulgaris. She developed deep cutaneous ulcers on the lower leg. All had well-defined edges and were covered with purulent and serosanguinous exudates. On histopathology the ulcers were deeply infiltrated with yeasts and mycelium and Candida albicans was isolated on culture. There was no evidence of systemic candidosis. Complete healing was obtained using itraconazole in a dose of 200 mg daily for 45 days: treatment with prednisone was continued throughout. The response to antifungal therapy alone suggests that Candida was largely, if not wholly responsible, for this unusual clinical condition.

The authors present a new case of a rare tumor, folliculoma, located in the face of a 57 year old woman. Concerning histogenesis, it appears most likely that Folliculoma represents a nevus developed from primary epithelial germ.
