Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis is a subcutaneous fungal infection caused by dematiaceous fungi of various genera, commonly presents with asymptomatic verrucous plaques mostly on extremities after a history of injury. Rarely it disseminates to other parts of the body and poses a difficulty in diagnosis and treatment. Here we report a case of extensive chromoblastomycosis on the face caused by Cladophialophora Carrionii with dissemination to extremities in an immunocompetent elderly woman.
