Cutis. 2008;81:127-130.
Primary cutaneous aspergillosis is an uncommon disease in immunocompetent individuals that often affects immunosuppressed hosts. We present the first reported case of primary cutaneous aspergillosis in a solid organ transplant recipient caused by Aspergillus niger. Fruiting bodies were isolated from a necrotic ulcer arising in a surgical wound. Debridement alone failed to resolve the infection, emphasizing the need for early antifungal treatment combined with surgical management of this infection.
