| Summary: | A case of phaeohyphomycosis caused by Bipolaris hawaiiensis is reported. The patient, an immunocompetent host, presented a verrucous lesion on the first finger of the left foot. Dematiaceous septate hyphae and yeast-like elements were seen in direct and histological examination. The isolated strain was identified on the basis of micro and macromorphological aspects. Treated with electrocoagulation, the lesions healed and presented no relapse after two years follow-up. Os autores descrevem um caso de feohifomicose com lesão verrucosa no hálux esquerdo. O paciente não apresentava sinais clínicos de deficiência imunológica. Os exames direto e histopatológico mostraram células leveduriformes e poucas hifas septadas, demacióides, essenciais ao diagnóstico desta micose. O cultivo em lâmina permitiu identificar o hifomiceto como Bipolaris hawaiiensis. A eletrocoagulação foi usada como tratamento, com cura do processo, não havendo recidiva após dois anos. |
