Resumen
Se describe un caso de pseudomicetoma dermatofítico por Microsporum canis demostrado mediante histopatología con H&E, GMS y PAS, examen directo con KOH y cultivo micológico en un felino, persa, hembra, castrada, de 5 años, con historia de múltiples masas subcutáneas, indoloras y recidivantes en el dorso durante año y medio. Se trató con itraconazol durante cuatro meses, pero se suspendió por intolerancia al medicamento. La invasión a órganos internos se descartó mediante ultrasonido y citología.
The paper describes a case of dermatophytic pseudomycetoma caused by Microsporum canis diagnosed through histopathology with H&E, GMS, and PAS, direct microscopic examination with KOH, and mycological culture in a spayed 5-year-old female Persian feline, with a history of multiple recurrent nontender subcutaneous masses on the back over a year and a half. The subject was treated with Itraconazole for four months, which was suspended due to drug intolerance. Internal organ invasion was discarded by ultrasound and cytology.
