The cat had circular, nodular, granulomatous lesions over its sternum. Scattered individual and small groups of septate hyphae and chlamydospores were found in histologic sections. Many of the hyphae also had bizarre dilatations. Most of the fungal elements were hyaline; a few, however, were dematiacious. Because the fungus was not organized into granules in tissue, the disease could not be classified as a mycetoma. The preferred name for infections of this type is phaeohyphomycosis.
