초록
Tinea pseudoimbricata, a special subset of tinea incognito, is a cutaneous fungal infection with unusual tinea imbricata-like lesions caused by dermatophytes other than Trichophyton concentricum. Here we present a case of tinea pseudoimbricata. An 80-year-old woman presented with mildly pruritic, scaly, annular, erythematous plaques with inner small, annular, polycyclic, or arcuate plaques on the left abdomen and back for 1 month. The lesions enlarged after the application of topical corticosteroids about 2 months previously. A potassium hydroxide test performed on her lesions was positive. Fungal culture, light microscopic findings, and T. rubrum-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction confirmed the presence of T. rubrum. Thus, we diagnosed tinea pseudoimbricata caused by T. rubrum and treated successfully with oral and topical terbinafine.

The lesions enlarged after the application of topical corticosteroids about 2 months previously. A potassium hydroxide test performed on her lesions was positive. Fungal culture, light microscopic findings, and T. rubrum-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction confirmed the presence of T. rubrum. Thus, we diagnosed tinea pseudoimbricata caused by T. rubrum and treated successfully with oral and topical terbinafine.
