Abstract:Background: Chromoblastomyocosis is a slowly progressive cutaneous mycosis caused by dematiaceous naturally pigmented fungi. Literature shows case reports described sporadically, hence definite incidence is not known. More than eighty cases have been reported in Indian literature till date. Case: Here, we present a case of 74 year old male, who developed a chronic ulcer on foot following trauma. He was initially diagnosed as a case of cutaneous tuberculosis. Histopathology of the ulcer biopsy confirmed cutaneous chromoblastomycosis. Sclerotic bodies highlighted by special stains were seen. Conclusion:If not diagnosed earlier, chromoblastomycosis evolves slowly, causing varying problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
