Facial Majocchi's granuloma caused by Trichophyton tonsurans in an immunocompetent patient.

Sir, Majocchi’s granuloma is a cutaneous dermatophyte infection of dermal and subcutaneous tissue mostly localized at trauma-prone areas in healthy individuals (1, 2). Various species of dermatophytes can cause Majocchi’s granuloma, both in immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts (3 – 7). We describe an immunocompetent patient developing Majocchi’s granuloma caused by Trichophyton tonsurans on the right cheek, which, to the best of our knowledge, has never been reported.
