Introduction. Sporotrichosis is a deep mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus 
Sporothrix schenckii and arises from traumatic inoculation of fungus conidia into 
damaged skin from plants and other organic material.
The objective.In order to prevent diagnostic mistakes, which leads to a long-term 
and ineffective treatment we presented a clinical case of the sporotrichosis, a 
rare skin disease in our country, that arose in an elderly patient after a rose 
injury.
Methods.The diagnosis of sporotrichosis of the skin was established by the clinical 
data, anamnesis and histologic examination.
Results The impossibility of long-term administration of systemic antifungal drugs in 
an adequate dose in this case, required to find out an alternative methods 
of treatment without systemic side effects. The use of local radiation therapy 
in a patient with skin sporotrichosis led to a positive result in this clinical case.
Conclusions.Diagnostic difficulties and the problems of  the treatment require
Awareness of  dermatovenereologists and use of alternative methods 
of treatment.
