Tinea nigra palmaris
Keywords:
tinea nigra, tinea nigra palmaris, dermoscopy, Hortaea werneckii.Abstract
We report the case of a 4-year-old patient with an asymptomatic, centrifugal slow-growing pigmented lesion on the left palm. Clinical and dermoscopic examinations were consistent with tinea nigra, which was confirmed by microbiological study. The infection was due to a pigmented fungus identified as Hortaea werneckii. We emphasize the importance of dermoscopy as a diagnostic tool in this entity.
