Invasive Trichophyton rubrum Mimicking Blastomycosis in a Patient with Solid Organ transplant

Abstract

We present a case of tissue invasive Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) histologically mimicking blastomycosis in a patient with kidney transplant on chronic immunosuppression. Invasive dermatophyte infections are rare, and present a diagnostic challenge to the dermatopathologist due to atypical clinical and histopathological presentations.
