Sporotrichosis and its Clinical Polymorphism: Centrofacial Ulcerated Lesions in an Adult Patient
Abstract
Sporotrichosis is the most frequent subcutaneous mycosis worldwide, caused by a geophilic and dimorphic fungus of the species Sporothrix spp. Lymphocutaneous form is the most common clinical presentation and facial involvement is more prevalent in pediatric patients due to low stature and leisure habits of holding cats close to the face. In this case report, a female patient, with previous diagnosis of rosacea, resident in Rio de Janeiro, an epidemic region of the disease, presented ulcerated lesions on dorsal nasal, upper lip and glabella regions, diagnosed lately as sporotrichosis
