We present here two cases of chromoblastomycosis, one with an atypical presentation. The diagnosis was made by demonstration of sclerotic bodies on the histopathological examination of skin biopsies and isolation of Fonsecaea pedrosoi on culture in both of them. Chromoblastomycotic skin lesions particularly atypical ones may be confused with other clinical conditions involving skin and are presented here for their academic interest. ER -
