RESUMO
A case of chromoblastomycosis caused by Cladophialophora carrionii is reported. The diabetic and hypertensive patient presented serpiginous and verrucous lesions, with centrifugal evolution. The patient, with a history of disease for 59 years, had not been diagnosed or treated before. Dematiaceous septate hyphal and elliptical conidia were seen on microscopic observations. The isolated fungus was identified on the basis of micro-macromorphologic characteristics.
Se reportó un caso de cromoblastomicosis causado por Cladophialophora carrionii. El paciente, diabético e hipertenso, presentaba lesiones de apariencia verrugosa y serpiginosa, con evolución centrífuga. Tenía un historial de enfermedad hace 59 años sin haber sido diagnosticado hasta entonces. En el examen microscópico de observaron elementos hifales septados, pigmentados y con conidios elípticos. La identificación del hongo se basó en las características macromorfológicas y micromorfológicas.
