Summary This study reports a case of a male patient, the first in Spain, afflicted with tuberous and vegetating lesion of the skin: actinomycosis vegetans. The culture for the causative organism remained negative. The histologic sections, however, showed typical, polynuclear-lymphocytic, dermal infiltration with micro-abscesses with the typical actinomycotic granules. Also the first case of Blastomycosis of the skin is presented. There were many round, double contoured bodies in the center of the abscesses. The culture was positive for micrococcus or torula.
