Case of phaeohyphomycosis producing sporotrichoid lesions.

A 90-year-old Japanese woman, taking prednisolone (5-10 mg/day) for polyarthritis, presented to our hospital with multiple subcutaneous lesions on her left arm in 2009. Her history included excision of a phaeomycotic cyst on the left middle finger in 2007. There were three subcutaneous nodules approximately 15 mm in diameter around her left wrist and a large soft cystic lesion measuring 80 mm × 60 mm on her left elbow.

Case of multiple cutaneous granular cell tumors.

Granular cell tumor is an uncommon, benign tumor, which mainly occurs on the skin, tongue and oral cavity as a single nodule. Multiple granular cell tumors are rare, with the incidence reported to vary from 7-29% in adult cases of the tumor. We describe a case of multiple cutaneous granular cell tumors in the right lumber and back regions along with a brief review of the published work on multiple cutaneous granular cell tumors.
