Chromoblastomycosis is subcutaneous mycotic disease that contains sclerotic cells or muriform cells and histologically show pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with microabscess, and phaeohyphomycosis is a group of mycotic infections that contain dematiaceous yeast-like cells, pseudohypae-like elements, hyphae or combination of these form in tissue. Ten Korean cases of subcutaneous chromoblastomycosis have been reported to date, four males and five females, ranging in age from 37~68 (mean 53.8 years).
