Abstract
A 5.5-year-old, male, feline leucosis virus-positive cat developed a c oncurrent dermatophytosis due to Microsporum canis and a subcutaneous infection due to Staphylotrichum coccosporum. St. coccosporum caused m ycetoma-like lesions. The fungal elements revealed features like those seen in phaeohyphomycosis. Until now St. coccosporum has been describ ed to be non-pathogenic. The pathogenicity of St. coccosporum was corr oborated by experimental infection.
