Dermatophyte-related granular parakeratosis.
A patient presented with a two-month history of an annular eruption on her back. Biopsies of this process revealed dermatophytosis and concurrent granular parakeratosis. This patient's eruption resolved completely with antifungal therapy suggesting that the fungal organisms caused the granular parakeratosis.
