• Single to multiple well circumscribed, firm, nonpainful dermal nodules
• Pyogranulomatous dermatitis with intralesional acid-fast positive bacteria

What can be seen with deep or systemic fungal infection? What are the typical lesions? What are they caused by?
Deep and/or systemic fungal infection
• Usually cutaneous lesions are secondary to systemic infection (lungs, eyes, bones)
• Ingestion or inhalation from contaminated soil
