Botryomycosis: a complication of extensive follicular mucinosis

R R Harman et al. Br J Dermatol. 1980 Feb.

Abstract

A case of extensive follicular mucinosis, without evidence of lymphoma and present for 9 years, was complicated by cutaneous botryomycosis which initially resembled sporotrichosis. Scanty Staphylococcus aureus was cultured with difficulty. No immunodeficiency could be demonstrated, and the importance of a local factor (namely follicular mucinosis) in the production of the characteristic histological reaction of botryomycosis is emphasized.
