Chromoblastomycosis mimicking Squamous Cell Carcinoma: a case report
Chromoblastomycosis (CM), a chronic subcutaneous mycosis, is caused by several dematiaceous fungi, the most common being Fonsecaea pedrosoi . It usually occurs in the lower extremities following traumatic implantation of the organisms. We are reporting a case of rapidly developing case of CM on the unilateral lower limb with a fungating mass like ulcerative lesion and hyperkeratotic waIiy growt...
متن کاملDemodex folliculorum: a parasite infection mimicking skin cancer.
incidence of facial nerve palsy is relatively high following parotid surgery, with the rates of transient and permanent palsy being reported as high as 65% and 7% respectively. The initial branching arrangement we have shown may have implications for parotid surgery as the surgeon would need to be aware of the presence of six early branches. In particular, vigilance of the location of Branch I,...
متن کاملRhinocladiella aquaspersa, proven agent of verrucous skin infection and a novel type of chromoblastomycosis.
We report a case of chromoblastomycosis which resembled sporotrichosis due to the presence of warty nodules and lymphatic distribution on the forearm in a 56-year-old male. Mycological and histopathological investigation of exudates and biopsy tissue samples revealed a granulomatous lesion with muriform cells, the hallmark of chromoblastomycosis. The infection showed only localized expansion wi...
متن کاملRestoration of Pattern Recognition Receptor Costimulation to Treat Chromoblastomycosis, a Chronic Fungal Infection of the Skin
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic skin infection caused by the fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi. Exploring the reasons underlying the chronic nature of F. pedrosoi infection in a murine model of chromoblastomycosis, we find that chronicity develops due to a lack of pattern recognition receptor (PRR) costimulation. F. pedrosoi was recognized primarily by C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), but not by Toll-l...
متن کاملHidden under a Cauliflower-Like Skin Tumor: Chromoblastomycosis
We present the case of an 80-year-old patient with a recurrent hyperpigmented and cauliflower-like skin tumor on the stump of his left index finger. Despite suggestive clinical appearance for chromoblastomycosis the tumor was initially clinically and also histopathologically misdiagnosed as recurrent squamous cell carcinoma. Due to a cardiogenic shock, the patient died shortly after the diagnos...
