A Case of Subcutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by <i>Exophiala xenobiotica</i> in a Poorly‐Controlled Diabetic Patient: The Conventional Papanicolaou Staining on Cytology Specimen Can Potentially Guide Us to the Correct Diagnosis
In this subcutaneous cyst-like case of immunocompromised patient, it is critical to consider the possibility of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis. The conventional methodology of Papanicolaou staining on cytology specimen can recognize characteristically typical dichotomous branching and brown-pigmented fungi, potentially guiding us to the correct and quick diagnosis.
