ABSTRACT

Paracoccidioidomycosis is the most frequent deep mycosis in Paraguay, usually acquired by inhalation, affecting the lungs and spreading to any organ especially the oropharyngeal mucosa. Skin involvement is less frequent and rarely a primary skin inoculation. Four cases of paracoccidioidomycosis with cutaneous lesions affecting the feet are presented here, as the only mucocutaneous location, and differential diagnoses are discussed.
