ABSTRACT
Medicopsis romeroi is a melanized coelomycetous fungus, mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions and an uncommon cause of infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. We describe two cases of SOT recipients diagnosed with phaeohyphomycosis due to M romeroi and provide a comprehensive literature review. These infections should be considered in patients native to tropical countries with a localized skin and soft tissue infection. Sequencing is needed for accurate identification of uncommon melanized fungi. Surgical treatment is recommended to cure the infection and co-adjunctive oral antifungals should be considered.
