dc.description.abstract Tinea capitis favosa is a dermatophyte infection characterized by scutulum formation, and the causative agent is usually Trichophyton schoenleinii. It is seen most commonly in children, but may follow a lifelong course if remain untreated. The incidence has decreased considerably in recent years in Turkey. We report an 18-year-old female patient diagnosed with tinea capitis favosa. The disease had been present for 10 years owing to misdiagnosis and unsuccessful treatments. She was successfully treated with terbinafine. Since it is a rare condition we present this case. en_US
