Abstract
Two case reports add to the rare recorded instances of infection of man and other animals by Phoma or Phoma -like molds. Phoma cava was consistently cultured from aural dermatitis of a white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ), and tissue sections of the ear revealed fragments of apparent pycnidial walls, as well as many septate hyphae. In the second instance, numerous Phoma -like pycnidia occurred in and upon the hairs of a young child, in a lesion initiated by Trichophyton infection.
