초록
Fusarium species are widely distributed throughout the environment, and rarely cause infection in healthy individuals. Herein, we report a rare case of cutaneous infection by Fusarium solani in a healthy patient. A 64-year-old patient presented with a tender, erythematous, deep-seated nodule above the left ankle after an intralesional triamcinolone injection for lipoma was administered at a private clinic 1 month ago. Fungal hyphae were identified in subcutaneous tissue by skin biopsy using Gomori methenamine silver stain. Lactophenol cotton blue staining, fungal culturing, and 28S rRNA sequencing confirmed the presence of F. solani. After diagnosis, the patient was successfully treated with oral itraconazole.
