Abstract
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic subcutaneous fungal infection caused by dematiaceous saprophytic moulds. We report a case of chromoblastomycosis due to Fonsecaea pedrosoi observed in man from the Baja region of Tunis. He presented since one year an erythemato-squamous atrophic plaque localised at the abdomen area. Clinical remission was obtained after cryotherapy and terbinafine.
