title: Metastic melanoma masquerading as disseminated sporotrichosis.
abstract: A 66-year-old man presented with diffuse slate-gray skin discoloration and multiorgan failure. Diagnostic workup showed disseminated bone and visceral lesions and positive Sporothrix serology. He was treated with antifungals for disseminated sporotrichosis but he died shortly after. Autopsy revealed metastatic melanoma with diffuse melanosis and no Sporothrix infection.
