Abstract
- Perifollicular granuloma of the leg is a variant of Majocchi's granuloma. We report a case of perifollicular granuloma of the leg caused by Trichophyton(T.) rubrum in a 31-year-old female, who showed mild pruritic, erythematous indurated plaque with central ulcerations on the right shin for 8 months. Fungal culture of the biopsy specimen grew out typical white cottony colonies of T. rubrum. Histopathologic examination of the skin lesions showed chronic granulomatous inflammation and fungal elements in the dermis. After one month of terbinafine therapy (250 mg/day), lesions were completely cleared. No recurrence has been observed to date.
