The histopathologic findings showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, abscess formation, chronic granulomatous inflammation and many PAS-positive fungal spores and hyphae in the dermis. Sporothrix schenckii was identified with fungal culture of biopsy specimen. The lesions improved with three pulses of itraconazole 400mg daily for a week per month.
