Abstract
We report two cases of primary cutaneous nocardiosis due to Nocardia o titidiscaviarum. The first case is a mycetoma, the second, a cutaneous abcess: these two cases were imported into France (Vietnam, Zimbabwe) . The literature on primary cutaneous nocardiosis due to N. otitidisca viarum is reviewed.
