Unusual skin manifestations of a dermatophyte infection in a 30-year-old female were reported. These included a remarkable peripheral hyperkeratosis with central yellowish pus. The pinkish papillomatous lesions were covered with thick crusts. They gave off a foul smell. Abundant fungus elements were present in the crusts and keratotic layer. The trichophytin skin test was positive. Immunologic test results revealed that the patient had hypergammaglobulinemia with hypoalbuminemia. However, she had no edema or immunologic abnormalities. The skin lesions were successfully treated with topical miconazole cream, oral griseofulvin, and topical sulconazole cream. The etiologic agent was identified as Microsporum ferrugineum Ota 1922. It seemed to us that the unusual skin manifestation were induced by her immunological response to fungal and bacterial infection due to a long history of Candida granuloma.

“…However, the colonies of this isolate were not folded. Microscopically, M. jerrugineum produces chlamydospores and, rarely, spindle-shaped macroconidia (23)(24)(25)(26). In this isolate, distorted mycelium without conidia and long hyphae with prominent crosswalls (bamboo hyphae) were observed.…”
