Sporotrichoid chromoblastomycosis on right lower leg

Introduction: Chromoblastomycosis is a worldwide chronic fungal infection caused mainly by Fonsecaea pedrosoi or Cladophialophora carrionii affecting predominantly men in tropical and subtropical countries. Patients acquire the infection through a traumatic implantation of fungi from soil. Most common clinical manifestation is a verrucous plaque. Very few cases of sporotrichoid chromoblastomycosis have been described. We report a rare lymphangitic chromoblastomycosis on right lower leg in a young male patient.
