Abstract To the Editor:—I have read with interest a clinical note entitled, "Semblance of Elastic Tissue to Mycelium an Potassium Hydroxide Preparations," by Walter S. Green and Maurice C.

These authors stated that elastic tissue fibers in scrapings from lesions of the skin may so closely resemble the mycelial filaments of fungi as to lead to an error in diagnosis and the consequent use of inappropriate treatment.
