ABSTRACT: Subcutaneous chromomycotic absesses due to phialophora gougerotti in a 50‐year‐old woman were characterized by subcutaneous abscesses adhering together through fistulous tracts, rupturing and leaving black crusts. Over multiple sinuses mimicking mycetoma. Reinfection occurred in contaminated excised lesions. Intradermal inoculation in different anemic patients caused abscesses in 14 days and healed without therapy in eight weeks. No spreading to other organs was found after intraperitoneal inoculation of mice for eight weeks.
