Cutaneous Sporothrix schenckii of the human eyelid.
2010
: An 87-year-old patient presented with a 6-week history of an isolated progressive destructive nodular eyelid mass, secondary nodular and ulcerative lesions, and regional painful lymphadenopathy. After 4 weeks, fungal cultures demonstrated Sporothrix schenckii. S. schenckii is a rare dimorphic fungus that can occasionally involve the periocular skin. The authors' case demonstrates typical clinical features, emphasizes the delay in diagnosis, and shows effective treatment with oral itraconazole.
