Abstract





Objective:
 Sporotrichosis is a fungal skin
infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii. We report a 70- year-old female
presenting with an erythematous nodule on her right forefinger after a rose
thorn prick.


Material
and Methods:
The nodule was histopathologically diagnosed as
sporotrichosis. Dermoscopy of the nodule revealed structureless white areas
with a lobular arrangement, prominent scaling, blood spots, and polymorphous
vessels including coiled, punctate and looped vessels. Dermoscopy has opened
a new horizon in the diagnosis of skin infections in recent years.


Conclusion:
The dermoscopic features of sporotrichosis have not yet been reported as far
as we are aware. We believe that coexistence of the above features, which
could be thought to be nonspecific when seen separately, may be of diagnostic
significance and a helpful tool in the diagnosis of cutaneous sporotrichosis.
