Pathology
A biopsy of the right eyelid showed an ulcerated skin lesion with pseudoepitheliomatous epidermal hyperplasia. The tissue was infiltrated by a mixture of suppurative and granulomatous inflammation with multinucleated giant cells containing round structures. Grocott stain revealed the presence of intracellular and extracellular budding round yeasts, some of them with a ship's-wheel configuration consistent with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.
