Figure 1 Molluscoid lesions on face.
Figure 2 Hematoxylin and eosin 400 ×: Round to ovoid yeast forms 5-15 μm in diameter with a thick capsule.
Figure 3 Special stains under oil immersion: Mucicarmine highlights the characteristic gelatinous capsule (blue arrowheads), useful to differentiate from Blastomyces.
Grocott’s methenamine silver stain highlights the characteristic narrow based “Teardrop shaped” budding (orange arrowheads), useful to differentiate from Blastomyces and Histoplasma. GMS: Grocott’s methenamine silver.
