Abstract:
We report a case of phaeohyphomycotic cyst due to Parathyridaria percutanea in a 40-year-old post renal transplant patient from India. He presented with a painless swelling between the 2nd and 3rd toes of his left foot after minor trauma to the foot with a brick. The lesion was treated by complete surgical excision without any recurrence. The fungus was identified by sequencing of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA. Parathyridaria percutanea infections in immunocompromised patients of Indian and African origin warrants determination of host and environmental factors.
