Trichophyton tonsurans granuloma in the scalp of an adult.
Tinea capitis with granuloma formation in the scalp of an adult that was caused by Tr. tonsurans infection is presented. The lack of symptomatic findings emphasizes the occasional difficulty in making a clinical diagnosis of this condition. Moreover, the possibility of beauty parlors being the source of scalp infection in adults, as well as children, must be considered.
