Primary cutaneous nocardiosis with craniocerebral extension: a case report.

A 26-year-old male, a fisherman by occupation, presented with boggy swelling of the scalp and multiple discharging sinuses over the fronto-parietal area for one year. He described a history of periodic trauma to the scalp beginning about one year prior to the onset of the scalp condition. Histopathology suggested a chronic granulomatous suppuration.
