title: [Cutaneous granulomatous cladosporiosis].
abstract: The case of a 41 year old man with a tumorlike cutaneous cladosporiosis on the fifth right finger is described. Histologically seen there was an unspecific granulomatous inflammatory cellular infiltrate in the upper and middle corium, whereas in the deeper corium there were found big macrophages phagocytizing fungical elements pointing to cladosporiosis. The fungi grew up very slowly at a temperature of 30 degrees C. Since 1971 the patient was suffering from a "symptomatic" epilepsy medicamentally controlled. Though a neurotropic action of some cladosporion species is well known there could not be found any hint for a cerebral abscess.
