ABSTRACT

We report a case of chromoblastomycosis caused by Fonsecaea(F.) pedrosoi in a 58-year-old female, who showed a 2 x1.5cm sized, scply erythematous plaque on the left wrist for 7 months. Histopathologically, chronic granulomatous inflammation and sclerotic cells were observed. Fungal culture grew out th typical black colonies of F. pedrosoi. The patient had been treated with weekly intralesional injections of amphotericin B for 3 months. We observed a good response without evidence of recurrence.
