A skin biopsy specimen showed multiple granules containing basophilic material within the superficial to mid dermis. The grains were embedded in an eosinophilic substance and surrounded by granulomatous inflammation. A Gomori methenamine silver stain showed abundant septate hyphae, and cultures grew colonies of <jats:italic>Microsporum canis<\/jats:italic>. A diagnosis of dermatophytic granuloma, or pseudomycetoma, was made. After considering the patient\u2019s immune status, a prolonged course of fluconazole was initiated.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold>  <jats:italic>Microsporum canis<\/jats:italic>, a frequently encountered zoophilic dermatophyte associated with tinea capitis and tinea corporis, is rarely associated with a mycetoma\u2010like presentation, grain formation, or systemic infection. The medical literature describes only six cases of <jats:italic>M. canis<\/jats:italic> causing mycetoma\u2010like formations in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. This case report describes an unusual presentation of a common dermatophyte infection, and the literature review summarizes the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of dermatophyte infections. Such infections may warrant more aggressive treatment in immunocompromised patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0560.2006.00628.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,3]],"date-time":"2007-05-03T18:55:39Z","timestamp":1178218539000},"page":"431-434","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Pseudomycetoma caused by <i>Microsporum canis<\/i> in an immunosuppressed patient: a case report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Jena C.","family":"Berg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirsten L.","family":"Hamacher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Glenn D.","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_3_2_2","first-page":"1097","volume-title":"Pathology of infectious diseases","author":"Hay RJ","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000018141"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(09)80146-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1993.tb03342.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00443908"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1016328001146"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.2001.04301.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_9_2","first-page":"2991","volume-title":"Mandell, Douglas, and Bennett\u2019s principles and practice of infectious diseases","author":"Hospenthal D","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_10_2","first-page":"659","volume-title":"Skin pathology","author":"Weedon D","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_11_2","first-page":"729","article-title":"Microsporum canis mycetoma of the scalp [French]","volume":"127","author":"Vezon G","year":"2000","journal-title":"Ann Dermatol Venereol"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PRS.0000107650.25327.71"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.121.7.895"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2005.03.023"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0959-4493.2001.00252.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"460","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.34.2.460-462.1996","article-title":"Primary invasive cutaneous Microsporum canis infections in immunocompromised patients","volume":"34","author":"King D","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Clin Microbiol"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(96)90089-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_18_2","first-page":"922","article-title":"Mycetomas caused by Microsporum canis: report of one case [Spanish]","volume":"125","author":"Zaror L","year":"1997","journal-title":"Rev Med Chil"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1292\/jvms.59.651"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.141.9.1171-b"}],"container-title":["Journal of Cutaneous Pathology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1600-0560.2006.00628.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1600-0560.2006.00628.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]],"date-time":"2023-10-10T21:51:49Z","timestamp":1696974709000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1600-0560.2006.00628.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,18]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1600-0560.2006.00628.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1600-0560.2006.00628.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0303-6987","1600-0560"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0303-6987","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0560","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,18]]}}}
