Human infection can occur when damaged skin is exposed to an aqueous environment that is contaminated by the organism. An infection with\n M marinum<\/jats:italic>\n can present as painless purple nodules that spread along the lymphatics. Sporotrichosis presents similarly. We present a case of cutaneous\n M marinum<\/jats:italic>\n infection in a patient from rural central Texas who developed lesions initially suspected to be sporotrichosis after she sustained a splinter wound of her right hand. Despite empirical treatment for sporotrichosis with itraconazole, the patient's condition worsened, prompting further investigation. A positive culture for\n M marinum<\/jats:italic>\n altered the treatment plan. After a course of minocycline, the patient's cutaneous lesions resolved. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of\n M marinum<\/jats:italic>\n infections, which can mimic conditions such as sporotrichosis.\n M marinum<\/jats:italic>\n is an incredibly slow-growing organism in culture and requires a high degree of foresight for accurate diagnosis. Clinicians should consider\n M marinum<\/jats:italic>\n in the differential diagnosis for patients with apparent sporotrichosis lesions, particularly those with a history of appropriate environmental exposure, even in regions distant from bodies of water or occupations not routinely in contact with aquatic organisms.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10806032251386816","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,22]],"date-time":"2025-10-22T18:44:36Z","timestamp":1761158676000},"page":"228-231","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Wood You Believe It?
