Abstract
- We report a case of tinea corporis with unusual clinical features in a 7-year-old boy. He had a 7.5 x 7.0 cm-sized, well-defined, erythematous patch with concentrically arranged rings of scales on the right thigh, and two 2.5 x 2.0 cm and 1.0 x 1.0 cm-sized satellite lesions beside the lesion. Histopathologically, PAS staining revealed fungal hyphae in the horney layer of the epidermis. Fungal culture of scales of the lesions on Sabouraud's dextrose agar showed typical Trichophyton verrucosum. He was treated daily with 125 mg of terbinafine for 1 month and with topical lanoconazole. Skin lesions improved after a month of treatment, and recurrence was not observed.
