ABSTRACT
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic cutaneous and subcutaneous mycotic infection caused mostly by traumatic implantation of pigmented saprophytic moulds ubiquitous in the environment. If not diagnosed earlier, it has a chronic evolutional course that may cause several problems. We present two cases [father and a son] who were simultaneously infected with this uncommon fungal infection. Both had extensive face involvement. Diagnosis was considerably delayed and they were subjected to a myriad of empirical treatments
