Purpureocillium lilacinum, formerly Paecilomyces lilacinus, is a saprophytic fungus found in soil and rotting vegetation and rarely pathogenic to humans. Only 4 cases of cutaneous infection caused by Purpureocillium lilacinum have been reported in the name of Paecilomyces lilacinus. Herein, we report a case of localized cutaneous infection due to Purpureocillium lilacinum. A healthy 81-year-old immunocompetent male presented with an erythematous scaly and pustular plaque on his left dorsal hand that had begun 3 months ago. Histopathologic examination showed suppurative granulomatous inflammation with hyphae and round spores in the dermis. Periodic acid-Schiff and methenamine silver stain revealed fungal spores. Fungus culture from the biopsy specimen revealed velvety pink to white colonies after 15 day-incubation period. The slide culture stained with lactophenol-cotton blue showed typical long hyphae and flask-shaped phialides with oval conidia in chains. The result of DNA sequencing from the colony was identical to that of Purpureocillium lilacinum.

Angiomyxolipoma is a recently described and rare variant of lipoma that is characterized by the proliferation of adipose tissue with a myxoid stroma and multiple thick and thin-walled blood vessels. A 51-year-old man presented with a tender subcutaneous nodule on his right arm. The tumor was completely removed by excisional biopsy, and the histopathologic features revealed a thin fibrous capsule with incomplete fibrous septa extending into the lesion, dividing it into lobules of different sizes. The fat cells were mature, with a single vacuole and an eccentric nucleus. The vascular component consisted of groups of capillaries and occasional vessels of larger caliber. Erythrocytes were present within the lumen, and myxoid stroma was found. He was diagnosed as having angiomyxolipoma. Herein, we report a rare case of subcutaneous angiomyxolipoma of the arm. We also review and discuss such cases in the literature.

Dermatophytosis of the palm of the hands (tinea manus) tends to involve one hand. We encountered a case of bilateral tinea manus in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus and bilateral tinea pedis. A 57-year-old man presented for evaluation of hyperkeratotic lesions on both his palms and soles. Skin examination revealed hyperkeratotic scaly lesions on the palmar surfaces of his hands and plantar surfaces of his feet. Yellow discoloration and thickening were observed on both his nails. Fasting venous plasma glucose concentration and hemoglobin A1c levels were 332 mg/dL and 7.5%, respectively. Fungus cultures revealed white colonies with brown color on the reverse side in a 14-day incubation period. Trichophyton rubrum infection was identified using polymerase chain reaction with amplified internal transcribed spacer regions. He was treated with oral fluconazole (150 mg/week) and topical flutrimazole spray. In addition, we examined the frequency of 77 superficial fungal hand infections (age, sex, seasonal distributions and coexisting fungal infections) among patients who visited the dermatologic clinic of Chonbuk University Hospital between January 1997 and December 2016.
