摘要：Chromoblastomycosis is a slowly progressing localized fungal infection of the skin and the subcutaneous tissues which is caused by several pigmented fungi. This disease is commonly seen in the rural workers working in the tropical and the sub- tropical climates. Medlar reported the first case of Chromoblastomycosis in 1915 from Boston,in an Italian immigrant. He described the characteristic sclerotic bodies,which were thereafter named as the Medlar bodies,the other synonyms being "copper penny" bodies or "muriform" cells.(1) In India,such cases have been reported from the sub-Himalayan belt and the coastal areas due to the hot and humid climates in these areas.
