We report a case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis caused by Mucor irregularis. A 66-year-old man was presented to our hospital with a history of gradually enlarging plaque on the right leg for about a year. The identification of pathogen based on the fungus morphology and DNA sequencing revealed M. irregularis as the responsible fungus for skin lesion. The lesion was removed incidentally by a surgery procedure, and no recrudescence was seen during a follow-up of 24-month observation.
我们报告了一例由不规则毛霉引起的原发性皮肤毛霉病。一位 66 岁男性因右小腿逐渐增大的斑块就诊于我院,病史约 1 年。基于真菌形态学和 DNA 测序鉴定病原菌,显示不规则毛霉是皮肤病变的致病真菌。病变通过手术程序偶然切除,在 24 个月的随访观察期间未见复发。
