Abstract:
A case of cutaneous infection by Exophiala jeanselmei is reported. The patient was a 45-year-old Japanese female. Her skin eruption consisted of a group of erythematous papules on her left cheek to which corticosteroid had been topically applied for nearly 10 years. Histopathologically, a granuloma formation was noted in the dermis within which were many brown spores. The isolated fungus was identified as Exophiala jeanselmei.
