A 60‐year‐old man who had had a renal transplantation developed a nodule on the dorsum of his right middle finger, which was subsequently diagnosed as cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala jeanselmei. The patient was successfully treated with 5–fluorocytosine. To our knowledge, this case is the third reported case in the world caused by this species in a postrenal transplant patient that manifested as phaeohyphomycosis.
