Phaeohyphomycotic cyst is a common subcutaneous form of phaeohyphomycosis in which patients can present with subcutaneous plaques, nodules, etc., It is an infrequent presentation and is most reported in immunocompromised individuals. Diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological and mycological demonstration of the organism. The treatment is by surgical excision with systemic antifungals. We report a rare case of asymptomatic Mycotic cyst in an immunocompetent individual.
