“…El término de tiña incógnita se refiere a una dermatofitosis que ha perdido sus características clínicas comunes debido al uso de esteroides tópicos o sistémicos o, bien, por inhibidores de la calcineurina [6][7][8][9] . El subtipo clínico más frecuente corresponde a tinea corporis, seguida de tinea cruris y tinea unguium 14 .…”

La tiña incógnita, una infección dermatofítica con presentación atípica, se vincula comúnmente al uso inapropiado de corticoides e inmunosupresores, a menudo debido a diagnósticos incorrectos o automedicación. Su prevalencia se ve influida por diversos factores, como condiciones climáticas, malos hábitos de higiene y contacto con animales, afectando a individuos de todas las edades. Este reporte detalla un caso de tiña incógnita en una mujer de mediana edad causada por Trichophyton Schoenleinii. La paciente, previamente tratada con esteroides tópicos y sistémicos, experimentó mejoras significativas con una terapia antimicótica combinada (tópica y oral). El caso destaca el desafío diagnóstico que presenta la tiña incógnita, dada su presentación engañosa y semejanza con enfermedades eritematoescamosas. Destaca la importancia de crear conciencia sobre el uso prudente de medicamentos en patologías sin diagnóstico certero.

“…Tinea corporis is a common and often overlooked infection that can also co-occur with other skin conditions [117]. Occasionally, tinea corporis is simulating conditions, including psoriasis, pityriasis rosea, secondary annular syphilis, nummular eczema, lupus erythematosus, granuloma annulare [73,144,170].…”

While typically exhibiting characteristic features, fungal infections can sometimes present in an unusual context, having improbable localization (eyelid, face, joint), mimicking other skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or mycosis fungoides, and appearing with unexpected color, shape, or distribution. The emergence of such a challenging clinical pictures is attributed to complex interplay of host characteristics (hygiene, aging population), environment (climate change), advances in medical procedures, and agent factors (fungal resistance, species emergence). We aim to provide a better understanding of unusual epidemiological contexts and atypical manifestations of fungal superficial diseases, knowing that there is no pre-established clinical guide for these conditions.

While typically exhibiting characteristic features, fungal infections can sometimes present in an unusual context, having improbable localization (eyelid, face, or joint); mimicking other skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or mycosis fungoides; and appearing with unexpected color, shape, or distribution. The emergence of such a challenging clinical picture is attributed to the complex interplay of host characteristics (hygiene and aging population), environment (climate change), advances in medical procedures, and agent factors (fungal resistance and species emergence). We aim to provide a better understanding of unusual epidemiological contexts and atypical manifestations of fungal superficial diseases, knowing that there is no pre-established clinical guide for these conditions. Thus, a literature examination was performed to provide a comprehensive analysis on rare and atypical superficial mycosis as well as an update on certain fungal clinical manifestations and their significance. The research and standard data extraction were performed using PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and EMBASE databases, and a total of 222 articles were identified. This review covers published research findings for the past six months.
