Sporotrichosis is a frequent subcutaneous mycosis in Mexico and lymphocutaneous cases are the most common type. Extracutaneous or disseminated forms are exceptional and are usually seen in immunosuppressed hosts. We report the case of a 74‐year‐old immunocompetent male with osteoarticular involvement. The isolated Sporothrix schenckii was classified as type 3D according to restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA‐RFLP).
