Abstract
We report a case of unusual paracoccidioidomycosis reactivation after eyebrow micropigmentation in a Brazilian patient. The cutaneous lesion was the only clinical manifestation. Direct cutaneous inoculation in dermal tissues with Paracoccidioides sp. is extremely rare, explaining why paracoccidioidomycosis is not classically considered a cutaneous implantation mycosis.
