ABSTRACT

Tinea nigra is an infrequent superficial mycosis, caused by the dematiaceous fungus, Hortaea werneckii. In Mexico, 38 cases have been report in the last 34 years. In this article we report the case of an 18 year old, female patient, Mexico City resident, with clinical and mycological diagnosis of tinea nigra. The present case recalls the importance of the dermatologist for the diagnosis of less frequent entities and their adequate treatment.
