Abstract
Phaeomycotic cyst or subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis is the most common type of phaeohyphomycosis. Fonsecaea pedrosoi as the causative agent of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis was earlier reported in India. Here a case of a patient of 22-year-old farmer is presented with a soft cystic swelling on the left wrist. Direct examination of the aspirate from the swelling showed dematiaceous hyphae. Culture grew Fonsecaea pedrosoi. The patient responded to antifungal therapy.
