Introduction:Sialectasis of parotid duct is an uncommon condition characterised by abnormal dilatation of a part or whole of the Stensen's duct. It may lead to recurrent parotid infections as well as a cause of concern for the patient. Superficial parotidectomy is the accepted surgical treatment for this condition. Case Report: A case of idiopathic dilatation of parotid duct is presented. It was treated by marsupialisation of the sialectatic segment.This procedure proved to be much simpler and safer than superficial parotidectomy whilst being equally effective. Conclusion: In cases of Stensen's duct sialectasis without any abnormality of the parotid gland, marsupialisation of the ectatic segment should be the treatment of choice.

Chromoblastomycosis, a rare fungal infection, occurs most commonly in tropical and subtropical countries. Persons involved in agricultural works are most commonly affected. Traumatic injury by contaminated wood particles/ thorn predispose to chromoblastomycosis. We are reporting a case of chromoblastomycosis in a 50-year-old male presenting with a nodular swelling in the right foot for 2 months. It was clinically suspected to be a neoplastic lesion and was subjected to surgical excision and histopathological examination that demonstrated the presence of fungal hyphae, spores, and the typical "sclerotic bodies." Surgical excision is not needed in chromoblastomycosis as it can be treated by antifungals. Chromoblastomycosis needs to be considered in the initial differential diagnosis of verrucous cutaneous lesions of foot, particularly in agricultural workers.
