摘要：

Fungal infection is a rare condition in immunocompetent individuals, and it is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We report on a case of cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in healthy 25-year-old man. Based on the clinical findings, the case was first thought to be cervico-facial actinomycosis, but Alternaria was identified on the culture after debridement. Simple surgical excision resulted in the complete cure without administration of systemic antifungals.
