Chromoblastomycosis, a Case Report

Year 2017, Issue: 4, 241 - 243, 01.12.2017

Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis caused by Dematiacea fungi family is a rare fungal infection which is usually reported in tropical regions. A 75-year-old male patient presenting with a painless nodule on the dorsum of his foot for one and a half month was diagnosed as chromoblastomycosis confirmed by histopathological and conventional histochemical evaluation of the punch biopsy taken from the lesion. This case is presented because of its rarity and the silent clinical presentation of the condition

Kromoblastomikozis, Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Kromoblastomikozis, Dematiaceae familyasından mantarların sebep olduğu, genellikle tropik bölgelerde görülen kronik bir mantar enfeksiyonudur. Yetmiş beş yaşında erkek hastanın ayak sırtında bir buçuk aydır olan, ağrısız nodülden alınan biyopsi, histolojik ve konvansiyonel histokimyasal inceleme sonucunda kromoblastomikozis olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Olgu, beklenenin aksine sessiz bir kliniğe sahip olması ve nadir görülmesi nedeniyle sunulmuştur
