Abstract
Phaeoid fungi are defined as those fungi that on cultures and in the invaded tissues bear melanin-like pigment on the wall of hyphae and/or spores. Subcutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis is usually manifested as a solitary abscess, cyst or pyogranuloma arising at the site of a probable trauma in exposed areas, but less frequently presented as verrucous nodules or plaques as reported in our patient.
