Abstract
A case of cutaneous and nail infection due to Hendersonula toruloidea (HT), in a Senegalese woman who had been living in France for 7 years is reported. This patient presented with keratotic lesions of the palm s and distal and lateral onycholysis. Culture of clinical specimens on Sabouraud's medium without cycloheximide resulted in the isolation of HT. This rare fungal infection is often misdiagnosed.
