Br J Dermatol. 1993 Apr;128(4):436-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2133.1993.tb00205.x.

Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis is a rare, chronic, cutaneous infection caused by a group of dematiacaeous fungi. We report a case which, in addition to characteristic clinical and histopathological features of chromoblastomycosis, displayed atypical, deep dermal/subcutaneous involvement, and showed a good response to itraconazole.
