[Lobomycosis].
Lobomycosis is a rare disease occurring with predilection in the Amazonian region. We report the clinical and histological presentation of a patient living in Peru. The lesion resembled an hypertrophic scar located on the neck. It corresponded to a massive infiltration of the dermis by macrophages loaded with numerous Loboa loboi.
