Onychomycosis caused by pseudodermatophytes, including Onychocola canadensis, remains an underdiagnosed condition with significant clinical implications. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman presenting with distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis confirmed to be caused by O. canadensis. Diagnosis was established through direct microscopy and culture. Oral terbinafine combined with topical amorolfine yielded satisfactory results. The rarity of O. canadensis in clinical practice combined with its slow growth, subtle clinical presentation, and inconsistent therapeutic response underscores the need for increased awareness among clinicians and microbiologists.
