Abstract
We present a case of subcutaneous granuloma caused by Kodamaea ohmeri and describe the histopathological characteristics and skin lesions caused by this pathogen. A 55-year-old woman, with a history of rheumatoid arthritis, presented with red, painless plaque on her forehead, persistent for 3 months; based on the histopathological and mycological findings and gene sequencing, the patient was diagnosed with subcutaneous granuloma caused by K. ohmeri. This report highlights that early identification and diagnosis and optimal regimens are vital in the management of this intractable infection.
