Abstract

A granulomatous reaction is a chronic inflammation that forms masses or nodules. The objective of this study was to report the occurrence of a focal subcutaneous fungal granuloma in a L. vastus from an urban reserve in Ceará, Brazil. During monitoring of AMP, one specimen of L. vastus presented a subcutaneous botryoid nodule in the right palmar region. Cytological analysis revealed asteroid bodies, Splendori-Hoeppli reaction, macrophages, multinucleated giant cells, and degranulated eosinophils, spores, septate hyphae, and mineralization, which are compatible with a dimorphic fungal granuloma, requiring complementary techniques to confirm the specific agent.
