Abstract
Chromomycosis is a chronic, localized infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues caused by dematiaceous fungi of several genera. It has distinctive clinical, pathological and mycological characteristics. Exophiala spinifera is a well-established aetiological agent of phaeohyphomycosis, but there are only two reported cases worldwide of this dematiaceous fungus causing chromomycosis. We report the first known case in the UK of E. spinifera causing chromomycosis.Keywords
