    Abstract:
    Coccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal disease caused by Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. The lungs are the most common and often the initial site of involvement, and the non-pulmonary presentation is infrequent. We describe an unusual case of primary craniocutaneous coccidioidomycosis in a pregnant woman with infected bilateral periorbital nodules, intense pain at paranasal sinuses, and several osteolytic skull lesions. The analysis of 54 cases available in the literature makes us suggest that the area between the United States and Mexico is a risk zone for primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis.
