Triadelphia pulvinata, a soil hyphomycete, was found to be the cause of ecz
ematoid, scaly, grey lesions on the skin of both eyelids of a 30-year-old I
ndian male living in Saudi Arabia. Repeated KOH preparations of the skin sc
rapings showed presence of sclerotic, branched, septate hyphae. When cultur
ed, skin scrapings from the lesion grew the dematiaceous fungus T. pulvinat
a. Treatment with topical clotrimazole cured the infection, and no, recurre
nce of the infection was noted in a 5-year follow-up.
