    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Mycology
    • Canine Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Phycomycosis is a rare fungal infection that can affect animals.
    • Skin lesions are a potential manifestation of phycomycosis in dogs.
    • Accurate identification of the causative agent is crucial for effective treatment.

    Observation:

    • A canine patient presented with significant skin lesions.
    • A regional lymph node aspirate yielded Hyphomyces destruens (Pythium gracile).
    • Biopsy of affected skin revealed characteristic fungal hyphae.

    Findings:

    • Definitive diagnosis of phycomycosis in a dog was established.
    • The study identified Hyphomyces destruens as the etiological agent.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of fungal hyphae in skin lesions.
