Background Coccidiodomycosis is a systemic infection caused by Coccidioides immitis, a dimorphic fungus endemic in the south of the USA and the north of Mexico. The disease usually affects the lungs. Primary cutaneous infection is extremely rare. We present a report of a patient with primary cutaneous infection located on the nose. To our knowledge, such a presentation has never previously been reported in the literature. Observations The patient had a 3-cm-diameter elevated nodule with a verrucous aspect located on the tip of her nose. The histopathologic features of the lesion were consistent with coccidioidomycosis. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first report of primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis located on the tip of nose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
