Histopathological study of 18 cases of mycotic cysts (cultures have been made in three cases with isolation of Exophiala gougerotii). In three cases, two from Madagascar and one from Senegal, fungus looked like hyalin in tissues (no essay of cultures). Histologically, the lesions showed the appearance of fluctuant or stellate subcutaneous abscess. The organisms in the tissues exhibit dimorphism: hyphae associated with round forms. In one case, there was a black fungic grain associated with " spores" and hyphae and in one case, a foreign body (plant tissue) with fungic vesicules inside was present in the abscess.
