Deep cutaneous and subcutaneous infections due to dermatophytes are exceedingly rare and usually limited to immunosuppressed individuals. These infections remain chronic and persist in spite of treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Materials and methods\u00a0<\/jats:bold> We report two clinical cases of disseminated dermatophytic pseudomycetoma caused by <jats:italic>Microsporum gypseum<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Microsporum canis<\/jats:italic> in immunosuppressed patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u00a0<\/jats:bold> Patient 1, in 2008, showed improvement with fluconazole, cephalothin, and terbinafine treatment for <jats:italic>Microsporum gypseum<\/jats:italic>.
