title: [Description of a severe and rare case of tinea barbae in the mental region].
abstract: The authors report a case of tinea barbae which initially presented clinical and microscopic symptoms that led to the suspected diagnosis of a rapidly developing malignant tumour. A more detailed diagnosis and multi-specialist collaboration enabled the pathology to be correctly diagnosed and treated.
