Widespread Verrucous Plaques of Chromoblastomycosis: A 12‐Year Diagnostic Odyssey

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Chromoblastomycosis is a deep fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This case underscores the critical importance of thorough laboratory investigations, particularly histopathology, in chronic dermatological conditions that mimic other granulomatous diseases. Misdiagnosis, such as treating chromoblastomycosis as cutaneous tuberculosis without confirmatory testing, can delay appropriate therapy and prolong morbidity.
