Abstract
Cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis due to E. jeanselmei developed on the sole of a 61 years old Japanese female who was receiving the corticoids therapy for nephrotic syndrome. Although the causative fungus was resistant to 5-fluorocytosine, amphotericin B and ketoconazole, the lesion was successfully treated by surgical excision.
