ABSTRACT
Majocchi's granuloma (MG) is an atypical and uncommon presentation of dermatophytic infection involving the invasion of dermal and subcutaneous tissue by fungal organisms. It usually begins as a suppurative folliculitis and may culminate in the development of widespread granulomas. Immunosuppressed patients are at increased risk, especially those with T-cell deficiencies. We describe a case of inguinal MG in a liver transplant patient who had received antithymocyte globulin for acute rejection.
