Abstract

Abstract: A 47-year-old male patient who suffered from skin lesion on the neck for five years was reported.Multiple sclerotic bodies were found by direct microscopy and pathology,which were identified as Cladophialophora carrionii by fungal culture.The skin lesion subsided,with obvious scar leading to limited neck movements after 8-month itraconazole treatment.The patient was finally cured by scar resection and full thickness grafts with 2-more-month itraconazole.

Key words: chromoblastomycosis, Cladophialophora carrionii, itraconazole, full thickness grafts
