Bipolaris spicifera is a darkly pigmented (dematiaceous) fungus that uncommonly causes infections in humans. There are few cases of reported cutaneous Bipolaris infection in the literature. We report a case of a five-year-old boy with B-precursor-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed a cutaneous fungal infection on his left cheek Histopathological and microbiological findings identified the fungus as Bipolaris spicifera. Surgical excision and systemic antifungal therapy are the mainstay of treatment.
