*İletişim: ozlemt@hacettepe.edu.tr} Kerion celsi is an inflammatory form of tinea capitis caused by a T-cell– mediated hypersensitivity reaction to the causative dermatophyte. Differential diagnosis is very difficult when a scalp wound is abscess-like. Early diagnosis may avert unnecessary and inappropriate surgical drainage. Here we present 10 year old boy with a complaint of a head wound and diagnosis as kerion celsi. If there is a scalp wound with crusting, serious oozing, pus and keratin debris in childhood, and especially if there is resistance to the usual treatment modalities, kerion celsi should be considered in differential diagnosis. Anahtar Kelimeler : kerion celsi, tinea kapitis, saçlı deri, apse.
