Preferred Label : Chromoblastomycosis;

caused by a variety of pigmented fungi including Phialophora verrucosa, Fonsecaea
pedrosoi, Fonsecaea compacta and Cladophialophora carrionii, which can be found in
soil and wood. The infection usually follows trauma, such as a puncture from a splinter
of wood and tends to affect exposed sites such as the feet and ankles. Chromoblastomycosis
manifests initially as a warty papule which slowly enlarges to form a hypertrophic,
warty plaque. Eventually, after months or many years, large hyperkeratotic masses
may form, sometimes with secondary ulceration.;
