The First Reported Case of Majocchi’s Granuloma with Malbranchea sp. in an Immunocompetent Patient

Abstract

Majocchi’s granuloma is a rare condition in which a dermatophyte invades the deeper layers of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue and can often be misidentified and treated as eczema. It has a variable presentation ranging from cutaneous lesions to deeper infections in immunocompromised patients. No prior cases have described the formation of Majocchi’s granuloma with the deuteromycetes, Malabranchea.
