Chromoblastomycosis Presenting as a Solitary Lesion in a Non-endemic Region.

Chromoblastomycosis is a neglected tropical disease typically found in endemic tropical and subtropical regions. Herein, we discuss a rare case of a 55-year-old man in Texas who presented with an exophytic papule on the forearm, diagnosed to have chromoblastomycosis by shave biopsy and subsequent histopathological analysis. Treatment options for chromoblastomycosis include long-term oral antifungal therapy with itraconazole, physical modalities such as heat therapy in conjunction with oral antifungals, and surgical interventions such as cryosurgery or surgical excision.
