title: [Fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis localized on the face, with an infrequently seen clinical picture].
abstract: A case of fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis in an urban patient in whom the contagious trauma could not be proved is commented on. Remarkable is the location of the lesions involving the face, which is extremely rare, as well as the morphology of the lesions, adopting the pattern of congestive erythema on which there were crusty-erythematous papules causing an intense itching which also preceded their onset.
