Sporotrichosis
The biopsy of the verrucous, tumor-like lesion under the left eye revealed a non-specific inflammation of the dermis with some microabscesses and giant cells. In addition a few so called "asteroid bodies" may be localized. Fungi could not be detected neither with the HE stain nor by specific fungal stains. In the culture grew Sporothrix schenckii.
