The dermatophytosis are chronic infections caused by dermatophytes and sometimes can present microscopic clusters of spores, filaments, or both, called “dermatophytoma”. We present a patient with tinea corporis automedicated with topical corticosteroids, distal subungual onychomycosis of fingernails and total dystrophic onychomycosis of toenails. Samples from aim and fingernails showed a “dermatophytoma” and filaments in toenails. Trichophyton rubrum was isolated for both, arm and nails.
