Abstract
We report a case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis due to Exophiala jeanselmei in an 84-year-old Korean farmer suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. He presented with six subcutaneous, fluctuant abscesses on the left distal forearm and wrist. Subcutaneous infections by E. jeanselmei mostly present as a solitary cyst or abscess on an extremity. The present case showed localized multiple abscesses suggesting metastatic tuberculous abscesses or other pyogenic bacterial infections.Keywords
