Glossifungus

Glossifungus is a feature seen in skin biopsies characterized by the presence of flat, tan to brownish, spore-like structures called fungal spores that are embedded within the outer layer of the skin. It indicates a superficial fungal infection where the fungi invade the uppermost skin layer, leading to visible changes such as scaling or discoloration. The term is used primarily in pathology reports to describe these characteristic fungal elements within the skin tissue, aiding in diagnosing fungal skin conditions.
