Cutaneous nocardiosis cases reported in Japan during the period from 1951 to 1988 were statistically analyzed.
Middle aged males were affected most frequently and a predilection for legs followed by arms was common to some exogenous deep mycosis. An accumulation of cases in the central and southwestern parts of Japan and an increase in the reported cases, especially of localized and lymphocutaneous forms, were also seen.
