[Cutaneous infection due to Fusarium oxysporum in a female diabetic: molecular biological detection of the mold from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue using sequencing of the ITS region of the rDNA].

Background: Skin lesions due to Fusarium spp. occur either secondarily following hematological spread in systemic infection or represent primary cutaneous infections following traumatic inoculation.

Case Report: A 34-year-old woman with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus presented with a most likely posttraumatic leg ulcer present for 4 weeks.

[Extrafacial granuloma eosinophilicum].

Three patients with a rare extrafacial granuloma eosinophilicum are presented. Lesions were localized on the scalp, the upper back or the upper arm. Only one patient had a typical facial granuloma eosinophilicum at the same time.
