Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Blastomycosis typically presents with primary pulmonary lesions.
  • Systemic involvement is common in disseminated blastomycosis.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with exclusively cutaneous blastomycosis, lacking systemic involvement.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via clinical presentation, histology, and fungal culture.

Findings:

  • The primary pulmonary focus may resolve before clinical presentation.
  • Cutaneous lesions are the most frequent manifestation of disseminated blastomycosis.
  • The patient responded well to ketoconazole therapy with no adverse effects.

Implications:

  • Highlights the possibility of primary cutaneous blastomycosis.
  • Suggests ketoconazole as an effective treatment option for cutaneous blastomycosis.
  • Emphasizes the importance of considering non-pulmonary presentations of blastomycosis.
