ABSTRACT

Lacaziosis is a rare cutaneous and subcutaneous mycosis, caused by the fungus Lacazia loboi. It has been mainly described in the tropical and subtropical regions. The disease has a slow and chronic clinical progression, characterized by keloid-like cutaneous lesions. Most cases have been described in adult males who work in the countryside. We present the case of a 68 year old male, farmer, with a chronic dermatosis localyzed in his upper right arm, composed of multiple nodular lesions of keloidian aspect with a proximal satellite lesion. The hystopathological diagnosis revealed a deep fungal mycosis compatible with lacaziosis.
