Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic mycosis infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The lesson begins with a history of trauma characterized by slowly gradual growing nodule lesions, especially in the lower extremities. Management of chromoblastomycosis may be physical and non-physical and combination to achieve the best result. A 70-year-old male farmer came with a rough lump on his left leg in the past six years ago. Lesions were multiple-verrucous, varying sizes nodules on the left limb. Skin scraps examination showed copper penny appearance or Medlar bodies. Histopathological examination showed granulomatous inflammation and Medlar bodies. In fungi culture, we obtained Fonsecaea pedrosoi. Patients were treated with a combination of Itraconazole 400 mg/day for a week for three months (pulse dose) and serial cryosurgery once per week. The combination therapy gave clinical improvement and good results. The diagnosis of chromoblastomycosis is based on history, physical examination, histopathology, and culture. Predisposing factors are working in the fields in this case and being exposed to trauma such as soil and plants. Giving combination therapy with itraconazole and cryosurgery makes good results for this patient.

Abstract

Nevus comedonicus is an extremely rare adnexal hamartoma of pilosebaceous apparatus, with approximately 200 cases reported in the literature so far. It appears as cluster of adjacent honeycomb-like dillated follicular openings with firm pigmented keratin plugs resembling comedones.The comedones oftentimes arranged in linear pattern paralled to Blaschko’s lines. We report a case of a 5-year-old boy with open brown to black comedones in a linear pattern localized on the back of the left thigh that appearing since birth. Pain, itch and discharge were not obtain. There were some episodes of infection, due to manual removal done by his mother which left some hypertrophic scars. Dermoscopic examination revealed the distinctive pattern consisting of pigmented, sharply demarcated keratin plugs of 1-3 mm in diameter, some open pores, multiple structurless, various shades of brown homogenous circular areas surrounding the plugs. Histopathological examination showed an aggregation of dilated follicular infundibulum with laminated keratinous material plugging. This case report prove that dermoscopy examination, a simple non-invasive diagnostic tool is very helpful in diagnosing nevus comedonicus. We recommend this tool to differentiate the diagnosis of other rare epidermal nevi while histopathological examination should be performed only in uncertain cases.
