Fusariosis is one of the emerging invasive fungal infections over the last decade. However, its recent rise has been in its ability to produce disseminated infection in severely immunosuppressed patients with neutropenia. In solid organ transplantation, fusariosis remains an uncommon picture mainly with nodules, subcutaneous abscesses, ulcers, or necrotic skin lesions resembling erthyma gangrenosum. Herein, we have reported a case of cellulitis, subcutaneous nodules, and abscesses due to Fusarium spp in a liver transplantation patient who was successfully treated with polyenes and surgical resection.
