    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Blastomycosis is primarily a pulmonary infection with established pathogenesis.
    • Cutaneous inoculation cases are exceedingly rare, usually linked to laboratory accidents.

    Observation:

    • A case of direct inoculation with Blastomyces Dermatitidis culture suspension is presented.
    • The patient developed a primary cutaneous lesion.

    Findings:

    • The inoculation resulted in a slow-healing chancre.
    • The lesion remained active for approximately eight months.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the risk of cutaneous blastomycosis from direct fungal exposure.
    • Emphasizes the importance of biosafety in handling fungal cultures.
  • Suggests prolonged monitoring for cutaneous lesions following potential inoculation.
