INTRODUCTION: Sporotrichosis is a mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix spp., and the primary mode of transmission is traumatic inoculation of fungus conidia from plants and other organic matter. METHODS: Sporotrichosis was established in a cat and in three members of one family from a rural area, by fungal growth in culture. RESULTS: The cutaneous lesions developed on the lower buttock and limbs with no report of any injury. CONCLUSION: Although sporotrichosis should be considered for differential diagnosis in people working with soil and plants, cases of chronic lesions on skin of cats and in households is probably a new epidemiological approach in a given geographic region.
