Abstract
We describe herein the isolation of Tilletiopsis minor from a subcutaneous cyst of a 70-year-old immunocompromised male. The diagnosis was based on repeated isolation of the fungus, observation of hyphal elements in tissue sections, the ability of the mold to grow at or near body temperature, and the achievement of a complete cure following surgery and antifungal therapy.
