We report a case of a 47-year-old male diagnosed with a cutaneous Sporobolomyces salmonicolor infection after suffering with an extensive cutaneous eruption for 4 years. Treatment can be difficult and options include voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B. This infectious disease is extremely rare and can have extensive impact on multiple organ systems, including the skin.
