Abstract
We present a case of chromoblastomycosis with lobular lesions resembling lobomycosis over the forearm. A skin biopsy from the nodule revealed a mixed inflammatory infiltrate in the dermis with dark brown pigmented ovoid-to-spherical thick-walled spores known as copper pennies. There was a progressive decrease in the size of lesions within 3 months of therapy with oral itraconazole.
