Abstract
A subcutaneous infection in the form of pseudomycetoma is rare. <i>Acremonium species</i> are rarely considered to be pathogenic in subcutaneous infections due to their ubiquitous nature. We report a case of subcutaneous pseudomycetoma over the dorsolateral aspect of the left knee caused by <i>Acremonium species</i> in a 55-year-old diabetic male who was treated successfully with oral itraconazole.
