We report a unique case of ascending cutaneous lymphangitis in a 72-year-old immunocompromised man from which a newly described Nocardia species was isolated by 16S ribosomal gene sequencing. Treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resulted in successful resolution of symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of N. veterana implicated in causing ascending cutaneous lymphangitis.
