We report a case of tinea of the face caused by Trichophyton rubrum in which the histologic changes were consistent with granuloma faciale. We recommend that local infection with dermatophytes be considered in all cases of histologic granuloma faciale, especially when the clinical presentation is atypical for this dermatosis.
