A reliable diagnosis is crucial because of the zoonotic potential of dermatophytes. The routine mycological diagnostic procedures for dermatophytosis are widely known, but in the case of some isolates, identification based on phenotypic characteristics may be incorrect. Infections caused by <jats:italic>Chrysosporium<\/jats:italic> spp. are usually described in reptiles, but in other animals they are uncommon.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study presents a description of a cat with dermatological lesions, that was mistakenly diagnosed with <jats:italic>Trichophyton<\/jats:italic> spp. dermatophytosis. Clinical material for mycological examination was collected from alopecic areas on the back of the neck, the ventral abdomen, and the hindlimbs. The initial identification based on phenotypic properties indicated <jats:italic>Trichophyton<\/jats:italic> spp. The result of the MALDI-ToF MS allowed the exclusion of the <jats:italic>Trichophyton<\/jats:italic> genus. Ultimately, the correct identification as <jats:italic>Chrysosporium articulatum<\/jats:italic> was obtained based on the sequencing of ribosomal genes.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Interpretation of the results of the mycological examination of samples collected from animals\u2019 skin or hair shafts is always challenging.
