Deep mycosis is commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals and rarely in immune competent patients but they have increased morbidity and mortality. These cases, when they present as skin lesions or subcutaneous swellings, are often misdiagnosed as sebaceous cyst or soft tissue tumors and the patients are often not treated properly. Here, we would like to present a series of deep mycosis cases which were clinically misdiagnosed as soft tissue lesions/tumors and the importance of fine needle aspiration cytology and diligent histopathological examination to aid in the proper care of patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
