AB Figure  7-1Chromoblastomycosis  The  granulomatous  process  shown  in  Fig.  7-1,  which  is  variegated  in  color,  is  of  12  years'  duration.  It  started  as  a  small  nodule,  developed  slowly  into  a  verrucous  mass,  and  acquired  satellite  extensions.  The  condition,  so  reminiscent  of  a  tuberculous  process,  is  a  deep  fungal  infection  caused  by  the  species  of  Phialophora,  Fonsecaea,  and  Cladosporium,  which  are  indigenous  to  parts  of  South  America  and  other  regions  with  warm  climates.  Lesions  that  are  too  large  for  surgical  excision  are  treated  with  combinations  of  systemic  flucytosine,  amphotericin  B,  and  ketoconazole.Graphic  Jump  LocationView  Full  Size||Download  Slide  (.ppt)
