Abstract
Phaeohyphomycosis is a heterogenous group of fungal infection caused by a variety of naturally pigmented fungi. A 56year old male presented with painless subcutaneous swelling over left anterior aspect of distal leg since 1 year. Local examination revealed a painless, fluctuant, soft, mobile swelling measuring 3x2 cm in size over left anterior aspect of distal leg. Microscopic examination revealed granulomatous inflammation with presence of septate fungal hyphae with constriction and occasional irregular branching. (Identical to Phaeohyphomycosis).
