| Popis: | A chronic fungal infection in tropical regions, chromoblastomycosis is caused by dematiaceous fungi, the form-family of Fungi Imperfecti, usually affecting one lower limb at the site of a trauma but sometimes involving other areas of the body including head & neck. In this article, we report the case of a rare primary chromoblastomycosis of the palate and chest in a 27-year-old man who was successfully treated with surgical resection and combined drug therapy, and eventually free tissue transfer reconstructive surgical procedure to cure the palatine defect. |
