Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the subcutaneous tissue. The infection usually results from a traumatic injury and inoculation of the microorganism by a specific group of dematiaceous fungi, resulting in the formation of verrucous plaques. The fungi produce sclerotic or medlar bodies (also called muriform bodies or sclerotic cells) seen on direct microscopic examination of skin smears. The disease is often found in adults due to trauma. We report a case of chromoblastomycosis in a 12-year-old child in whom the infection started when he was only 4 years old with secondary involvement of bones, cartilage, tongue and palatine tonsils. The child was not immunosuppressed.
