Abstract
We describe a 68-year-old healthy woman with an unusual skin manifestation of mycetoma. A dark reddish erythematous plaque was present on the dorsum of the left hand for over 10 years. A skin biopsy revealed sulphur granules in the abscess, and Nocardia nova was identified from the specimen. Treatment with dapsone resulted in significant improvement. We review the clinical features of cutaneous N. nova infections.Entities:
