A case of cutaneous and nail infection due to Hendersonula toruloidea (HT), in a Senegalese woman who had been living in France for 7 years is reported. This patient presented with keratotic lesions of the palms and distal and lateral onycholysis. Culture of clinical specimens on Sabouraud's medium without cycloheximide resulted in the isolation of HT. This rare fungal infection is often misdiagnosed.
