Abstract

A case of subcutaneous cystic granuloma caused by Phialophora verrucosa was reported. The patient was 21-year-old Japanese female with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who had received prolonged steroid therapy. P. verrucosa has occasionally been isolated from patients as one of etiological agents of chromomycosis. There have been, however, no paper published to report an isolation of this fungus from subcutaneous cyst or abscess of a patient. This case is the first report of subcutaneous cystic granuloma induced clinically by P. verrucosa.
