“…Exophiala jeanselmei and E. dermatitidis have been commonly identified from phaeohyphomycotic lesions in Japan [7]. Phialophora verrucosa was very rarely isolated from chromoblastomycotic and phaeohyphomycotic skin lesions in Japan [8–14]. Phialophora verrucosa in the subcutaneous lesions commonly produces sclerotic cells as well as hyphae and string‐of‐beads‐like pseudohyphae.…”

A 53-year-old woman had asymptomatic multiple nodules on her gluteal region for 6 months. She had a history of systemic corticosteroid treatment for Evans' syndrome. Recently she had developed an immunodeficiency condition with CD4+ cell depletion without an HIV infection and a normal serum gamma globulin level. A smear from the purulent exudate of the nodules revealed many brown-coloured hyphae, spores and few large dark-brown cells. A short, hairy, dark-brown coloured colony was cultivated on Sabouraud glucose agar. Slide culturing revealed only a Phialophora-type conidia formation, and the fungus was diagnosed as Phialophora verrucosa. Severe immunosuppressive condition (non-HIV acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) of this patients after systemic corticosteroid treatment for Evans' syndrome predisposed an opportunistic cutaneous fungal infection due to P. verrucosa. Cases with cutaneous infection due to P. verrucosa reported in Japan are summarized and discussed.

“…Only one case of chromomycosis has been reported from Kagoshima Prefecture, the most southern part of mainlandJapan. It is rare for chromomycosis to appear as a tumor-like growth; only 14 such cases have been reported from Japan ( Table 1) (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Because the patient lived in an isolated area, Tokunoshima Island, in the southern part of the Japanese archipelago and because of the numbness in his leg, he was quite slow to visit adennatologist, so the tumor had time to grow very large.…”

A 66-year-old woman who lived on Tokunoshima Island, a small and remote southern island of the Japanese archipelago, had suffered from chromomycosis for more than 30 years and presented with a tumor-like growth on the posterior crural region of his right leg. Fonsecaea pedrosoi was identified as the pathogen from its growth pattern and micromorphological characteristics. The patient was successfully treated with 5-fluorocytosine, itoraconazole, and topical thermotherapy.

We report a case of chromomycosis caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi that developed in the left buttock of a 63-year-old female farmer. About 4 years ago, the patient developed erythema in the left buttock, which gradually spread. At the first consultation, we noted a well-defined, red-brown, infiltrated erythematous plaque (8 x 6 cm). Histopathological examination revealed a granulomatous lesion, containing sclerotic cells, associated with giant cells in the upper dermis. The causative fungus was difficult to identify due to low conidiogenesis, but was eventually identified by slide culture as F. pedrosoi. Excision and skin graft were performed, and no recurrence has been observed after 2 years. In Japan, 212 cases of dematiaceous fungal infection were reported in the period from 1982 to 2001. The causative fungus was F. pedrosoi in the majority of cases (126/212; 66%), followed by Exophiala jeanselmei (36/212; 19%). Similar incidence of dematiaceous fungal infection was reported in male and female patients. The upper limbs were affected most frequently in both male and female patients. Ten cases were associated with visceral lesions.
