Chromoblastomycosis
Diagnosis of Chromoblastomycosis
Histopathology Culture Late chromoblastomycosis lesions have a characteristic appearance, but early lesions may be mistaken for dermatophytoses. Fontana-Masson staining for melanin helps confirm the presence of the sclerotic bodies (Medlar bodies), which are pathognomonic. Culture is needed to identify the causative species.
