Chromoblastomycosis: A Potential Mimic of Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Transplant Recipients
Chromoblastomycosis (CBM), also known as chromomycosis is a chronic, granulomatous fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It usually occurs by the traumatic inoculation of various dematiaceous fungi and is more common in the developing world. This condition is rare in North America and the developed world. Herein, we present a case of a 75-year-old man who received a bilateral lung transplant 4 months prior and presented for evaluation of a painful, erythematous papule on the elbow which was diagnosed as CBM. This case highlights that immunosuppression used in patients who undergo solid organ transplantation not only increases the risk of opportunistic infections like CBM but can also be confused for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma as both these entities share many overlapping clinical and histopathologic features and may be a potential source of misdiagnosis.
期刊介绍：
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
