2/2. trichophyton tonsurans associated tinea corporis infection with the development of Majocchi's granuloma in a renal transplant patient.trichophyton tonsurans is an uncommon cause of tinea corporis, and an even more uncommon cause of Majocchi's granuloma. We report a patient who developed tinea corporis with Majocchi's granuloma from T. tonsurans infection.
