|May 2015Abstract
Fungal infections are known to occur in immune compromised individuals. Most are treated by antifungal chemotherapeutic agents either by local measures or by systemic treatment. Phaeohyphomycosis, derived from the Greek language meaning dark fungi with hyphae, is a rare condition. We describe what we believe is the first ever case report of phaeohyphomycosis in the occipital region of the scalp which mimicked a dermoid cyst.
