Abstract
- Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by dematiaceous fungi has rarely been described in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of subcutaneous infection caused by Phialophora parasitica in a renal transplant recipient. The role of early identification of the offending fungal species followed by a wide local excision in the management of such patients has been discussed.
