Abstract
Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is often the first-line investigation for detection of any fungal infection. Rhytidhysteron rufulum is an emerging dematiaceous fungus detected as a human pathogen. FNAC combined with molecular techniques helps in the detection of rare fungal species, especially in cases of non-sporulating fungi. We describe the cytomorphologic features of this species in a 62-year immunocompetent male who presented with a localised subcutaneous infection. Molecular studies helped in the final diagnosis.
