We describe the second case of infection by Emergomyces pasteurianus that occurred in Italy. The patient presented ulcerated nodular lesions primarily in the forehead, beneath the orbital and nasal areas, but also in the neck and fingers in the early stages. Treatment involved amphotericin B, followed by long-term itraconazole, which resulted in complete clinical resolution. A review of the literature is also included.
