On removed biopsy from right index finger shows that hyperkalemia and acanthotic skin with subepithelium showed chronic inflammatory granulation tissues with infiltration by lymphocytes plasma cells and occasional foreign body giant cells. There was a focus showing brownish granules, consistent with fungal morphology of Madura mycosis, stain for fungus: positive.
