Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by in an immunocompetent carpenter.

Phaeohyphomycosis refers to uncommon infections due to a large group of heterogeneous organisms called "dematiaceous fungi". Here, we report a rare case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in an immunocompetent carpenter, presenting as multiple verrucous and confluent papulo-nodules of the right leg, and likely due to traumatic inoculation. The pathogenic fungal species was identified as , according to macroscopic and microscopic morphological characteristics of the colonies. Surgical excision of the entire lesion and adjunctive antifungal therapy was curative.
