Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis is a rare chronic fungal infection of skin andsubcutaneous tissue. It is primarily a disease of tropical and subtropicalregions and affects mainly the agricultural workers following traumawith vegetable matter. Cutaneous Chromoblastomycosis mayclinically mimic cutaneous tuberculosis as both the condition usuallypresents with hyper pigmented verrucous lesion of skin.Here in we report a case of chronic cutaneous Chromoblastomycosisin a middle aged woman from north eastern part of India, whowas initially misdiagnosed as tuberculosis verrucosa cutis. Inhistopathology characteristic brown colored spores of the fungus(also known as copper pennies) were seen within dermal abscess.The organism isolated from culture of the biopsy material wasFonsecaea pedrosoi thus confirming our diagnosis of cutaneouschromoblastomycosis. The patient responded well to oral Itraconazole.The dermatologists and pathologists should be aware of thiscondition especially when dealing with verrucous lesion of the skin.The pathologists should search for fungal spores in cutaneous lesionwith pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia and dermal abscess.

Özet

Kromoblastomikoz, deri ve subkutan yumuşak dokunun nadir kronik mantar enfeksiyonudur. Öncelikle tropikal ve subtropikal bölgelerdeki tarım işçilerinde bitkilerle oluşan travma sonrası gelişir.Kutanöz kromoblastomikoz, her ikisinde de görülen hiperpigmenteverrüköz deri lezyonları nedeniyle, klinik olarak deri tüberkülozunutaklit eder.Bu makalede, Hindistanın kuzeydoğu bölümünde yaşayan vebaşlangıçta tüberkülozis verrükoza kutis yanlış tanısı alan kronikkutanöz kromoblastomikozlu orta yaşlı bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur.Histopatolojik olarak dermal abseler içinde bakır metelik olarak dabilinen karakteristik kahverengi mantar sporları görüldü. Biyopsimateryalinden hazırlanan kültürde Fonsecaea pedrosoi izole edildive kutanöz kromoblastomikoz tanımız doğrulandı. Olgu, oralItraconazol tedavisine iyi yanıt verdi.Dermatolog ve patologların derinin verrüköz lezyonlarını değerlendirirken uyanık olması, özellikle psödoepitelyomatöz hiperplazi vedermal abse içeren lezyonlarda patologların mantar sporlarını özenlearaması gereklidir.
