Subcutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis of Foot in an Immunocompetent Host

Subcutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis of Foot in an Immunocompetent Host

We report a case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis of foot, which is a mycotic disease that produces brown pigmented hyphae, pseudohyphae and yeast form in combination. The patient was immunocompetent and had injury 23 years before, and developed a non healing foot ulcer which was clinically suspect...
