Abstract:
A woman presented with a swollen red leg of 2 weeks' duration. Culture of the skin biopsy specimen confirmed this to be an infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii. Systemic evaluation led to the diagnosis of Cushing's disease and explained the unusual morphology. Treatment-related complications are also discussed.
