We report 10 prepubertal girls with sporotrichosis who were misdiagnosed because they had solitary ulcerative skin nodules, rather than a "sporotrichoid" pattern of multiple linear nodules. All had positive cultures for Sporothrix schenckii. We urge clinicians to consider sporotrichosis in the differential diagnosis of a solitary skin nodule.
