Abstract

We present a 40-year-old woman with atopic dermatitis and multiple purulent subcutaneous nodules of 20 years' evolution. The biopsy material was cultured and revealed Pseudallescheria boydii. The patient was treated with oral itraconazole for 4 months and incision and drainage of the lesions. Afterwards the patient remained asymptomatic and no new lesions were detected. © 2004 The International Society of Dermatology.
