Phaeohyphomycosis caused by Phialophora richardsiae.
A case of phaeohyphomycosis caused by Phialophora richardsiae is presented. The patient was a 30-year-old man with end stage malignant lymphoma. A subcutaneous abscess that developed on the dorsum of the right foot was removed surgically but immediately recurred. The causative mold was isolated from the pus in the lesion and identified as P. richardsiae. This is the fifth known case of phaeohyphomycosis caused by P. richardsiae and the first recorded in Japan.
